Kingston Fresh has announced that the first seasonal arrivals of its Ecuadorian mango crop are off to an early start, just in time to meet high customer demand.
“Although volume will be light to start, it will be much anticipated to help fill a supply void left from reduced mango volumes from Brazil year to date,” said Ken Nabal, Kingston Fresh’s President. “Our first containers will be shipped during the week of October 9th.”
Nabal commented that overall quality looks great to start and season forecasts call for volumes similar to last season. The size profile will be heavy to 10/12ct calibers with peak volume slated for mid-November through the mid-December period, which is ideal for key holiday retail promotions, according to a press release.
Earlier, the company announced that it had changed its name as part of a rebranding initiative. “For over 40 years our customers, with good reason, have had great confidence in the Kingston label. As we continue our aggressive imports expansion plans, which include mangos, rest assured that the Kingston logo will be prominently displayed along with its ‘Planting to Plate’ tagline that emphasizes the company’s relentless commitment to food safety and quality.”
Get ready for mango mania through October!
