According to industry estimates, however, Mexico is likely to be the world’s largest producer of dried mangoes, producing more than 17,000 tonnes per year. The majority (nearly 90%) of all dried mangoes are exported to the United States. In 2020, Mexican exports of dried mangoes to the United States reached a volume of almost 15,000 tonnes. Mexico exports only a modest and fluctuating volume of mangoes to Europe. The main South American competitor for Mexican dried mangoes in Europe is Peru.
