More Philippine Mangoes Now Exportable to the United States;
President Arroyo and Ambassador Kenney Tour Mango Plant
In a March 28 ceremony at the Hi-Las mango processing and packing plant in Taguig City, U.S. Ambassador Kristie A. Kenney and Philippine Agricultural Secretary Arthur Yap presented President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo with the signed Work Plan for the export of mangoes to the United States…
The Work Plan allows for increased export of Philippine mangoes, permitting mangoes from all provinces in the Philippines, except Palawan, to be exported to Hawaii and Guam…
Upon the request of the Philippine Government and as outlined in the agreement, a USDA inspector is currently visiting the country to certify the vapor heat treatment process at three local mango processing plants…
The Philippines can also export mangoes from Guimaras Island to all parts of the United States, including the mainland, after vapor heat treatment…
Due to the presence of certain pests on other mango-growing islands, only mangoes from Guimaras are exportable to the United States mainland…
Please visit the Manila US Embassy website for a complete copy of the article.
I have been trying to find the US embassy’s link for this article but the link I found doesn’t work, the embassy’s site must be under maintenance or something but I will keep trying. I do not want to feature the whole copy-pasted article here lest I be accused of plagiarism or copyright infringement…

I beg to differ with the said article because I have not seen a single Philippine mango sold here in Concord, California. I have been scouring the Filipino and Oriental stores here but no luck so why are they saying that more Philippine mangoes are to be exported here when there had never been any in the first place ???
Oh where, oh where are the mangoes, I want a genuine Philippine mango not the Mexican kind !

that will come. the volume of mango exported from the Phils to the US is still not very big. maybe in the near future you will have more of the sweetest mango of the world from beloved Pinas.
Hi Alberto, thanks for the reassuring message. Let’s all hope that the Philippine government not put this big opportunity aside since this is certainly a huge income generating project for the whole country.
