US Mango Import Intelligence
Track who's importing mango from Mexico — shipments, suppliers, volumes, and FOB prices.
Mexico is the largest supplier of fresh mangoes to the United States, shipping across one of the longest mango seasons in the world, and for produce buyers, distributors, and importers, knowing who is bringing that volume in — from which Mexican states and suppliers, in which varieties, and at what FOB prices — is the difference between negotiating with leverage and negotiating blind. Produce Trade IQ tracks 0 active US mango importers sourcing from Mexico, with shipment records, supplier relationships, and origin patterns updated weekly from CBP customs data.
Below you'll find the top US mango importers ranked by shipment volume, current FOB price ranges by Mexican crossing, and the ability to track any importer's mango sourcing in real time. Mango supply moves region by region through the season and depends on a mandatory USDA treatment process — so knowing who is sourcing what, from where, and when is what separates buyers who plan ahead from buyers who get caught short.
Top Mango Importers
Ranked by shipment volume
The US mango import market is led by very large produce companies moving tens of thousands of shipments a year, alongside a deep field of regional distributors and specialty importers — one of the broadest importer bases of any produce category. Rankings shift through the season as the Mexican harvest moves from the southern states north, and as buyers follow different varieties. Click any importer to see their full shipment history, the specific Mexican suppliers they buy from, their variety and origin mix, and how their volumes have changed quarter over quarter.
Where US Mango Imports Come From
Mexico supplies the large majority of fresh mangoes imported into the United States during its season, and Mexican mango is unusual in how its supply moves geographically. The harvest is a wave that travels south to north along the Pacific corridor over many months — one of the longest mango seasons anywhere — so the origin state tells you both timing and variety:
- Chiapas — one of the earliest producing regions in the far south, starting the US export season (often February), and home to the Ataulfo (honey) mango.
- Nayarit — a major mid-season production state as the harvest moves north, a heavy contributor to US-bound volume.
- Sinaloa — the largest mango production state overall, anchoring the later part of the season; its northern Los Mochis zone is fly-zone-free.
- Guerrero — a significant Pacific-coast export state contributing through the season.
Variety tracks the geography. Tommy Atkins and Ataulfo (honey) are the two largest US-bound types, with Kent and Keitt following later in the season. Tommy Atkins is planted heavily in part because it stands up to the hot-water treatment required for export. Buyers who track which states and which suppliers their competitors source from can see the season's handoffs — south winding down, the north coming online — before they show up in their own supply.
When to Buy: Mango Import Seasonality
Mexican mangoes reach the US across a long season that moves geographically rather than turning on and off:
- Peak volume, March through August — the heart of the US-bound season, when multiple regions overlap and supply is deepest.
- Early season, roughly February — opens in the southern states (Chiapas, Oaxaca) with Ataulfo and early Tommy Atkins, in building volumes.
- Late season into early fall — concludes in northern Sinaloa (Los Mochis), which carries the tail of the season with Kent and Keitt.
- Variety timing — Ataulfo and Tommy Atkins lead the season; Kent and Keitt come in later, so the variety you want has its own window.
Because the season is a moving handoff between regions, the real import data — which states are shipping now, in which varieties, and at what volume — tells you far more about availability and pricing in any given week than a single peak-season label.
The Hot-Water Treatment Gate: Why Mango Supply Has a Bottleneck
Mango carries a supply constraint most produce doesn't: to enter the US, most Mexican mangoes must go through a mandatory hot-water treatment for fruit-fly control, and the process is directly supervised by USDA. USDA personnel are on site at the approved hot-water packhouses to inspect, certify, and stamp each lot after treatment, and every facility has to be approved for readiness before exports can begin each season.
That makes treatment capacity a real bottleneck, especially in the southern regions where packhouse infrastructure is more limited, and it's why the start of the season can be gated by how quickly USDA-APHIS certifies facilities rather than by the harvest alone. (Northern Sinaloa's Los Mochis zone is fly-zone-free, so fruit there is exempt from the bath — one reason that region behaves differently.) For buyers, this is exactly why mango sourcing visibility matters: a treatment-and-inspection-gated supply chain means availability can lag the crop, and watching which packers and regions are actually shipping — not just which orchards are producing — is the signal that tells you whether supply is really there. This is the kind of supply dynamic Produce Trade IQ is built to track.
Current FOB (free on board) shipping-point prices for mangoes by Mexican border crossing, sourced from USDA Market News and updated weekly. FOB prices reflect the cost at the point of entry before freight and handling — the baseline buyers use to benchmark what they're paying, and they move with variety and with where the season is.

Produce buyers, importers, and distributors use Produce Trade IQ's mango data to:
- See competitor sourcing — find out which Mexican states, packers, and suppliers your competitors buy mangoes from, in which varieties, how much volume they move, and how it shifts through the season.
- Discover new suppliers — identify the Mexican exporters actively shipping mangoes to the US, ranked by the volume and consistency of their shipment history.
- Benchmark pricing — compare current FOB prices across crossings and varieties against what you're paying.
- Follow the season's handoffs — track volume as it moves from the southern states north, so you can line up supply before a region winds down.
- Anticipate treatment-driven gaps — watch how shipping volume responds at the start of the season and through it, when USDA treatment and inspection capacity gates supply.
Mango Import FAQ
Where does the US import most of its mangoes from?
Mexico is the largest supplier of fresh mangoes to the United States during its season, with production moving south to north across states including Chiapas, Nayarit, Sinaloa, and Guerrero. The US also imports mangoes from Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, and Guatemala at other times of year.
Who are the largest US mango importers?
The top US mango importers — ranked by shipment volume from Mexico — are listed above, updated weekly from CBP customs records. Mango has one of the broadest importer bases in produce, from very large companies to regional distributors.
When is the Mexican mango season?
Mexican mangoes ship to the US across a long season, with peak volume roughly March through August. It opens in the southern states (Chiapas, Oaxaca) around February and concludes in northern Sinaloa into early fall.
Why does mango supply have a bottleneck?
Most Mexican mangoes must pass a mandatory USDA-supervised hot-water treatment for fruit-fly control before export, and packhouses must be USDA-approved each season. Treatment and inspection capacity can gate how fast supply reaches the US, especially early in the season.
Which mango varieties does Mexico ship to the US?
The two largest are Tommy Atkins and Ataulfo (honey), with Kent and Keitt later in the season. Tommy Atkins is widely planted partly because it withstands the required hot-water treatment.
