Setting the market

While mangoes have been known to trade well below $5 per carton, that reality is not touching the irradiated Indian mango deal.

Chicago, Ill., based Patel Bros. is distributing Indian mangoes for Philadelphia-based Savani Farms, and a spokesman at Patel in Chicago said they expect about 3,000 total boxes this year. Price for the Kesar variety in the U.S. now and the Alphonso expected next week are quoted at $35 per 8-pound box of 12 count fruit. The deal is expected to continue for several more weeks, though I received no ending date for imports.
So far, the Indian mango is a no show on USDA terminal market price reports.
