Growing Mango Exports
Last year, Costa Rica increased
its mango exports by 43 percent,
according to data from the
Ministry of Agriculture.
This
trend made of the fruit the most
dynamic one in 2005, above other
crops that have been strong in
different markets, such as
bananas and pineapples.
Costa
Rica exported some 9,000 tons of
fresh mangoes last year, and the
leading buyer was Holland,
followed by the United States
and the United Kingdom.
Other
consumers of Tico mangoes
include Germany, Belgium, Spain,
Portugal, Honduras, Nicaragua,
El Salvador, Canada, Chile,
Colombia, and Guatemala.
