Mango producers in Spain and Egypt target European markets
The mango sector is seeing significant activity in both Spain and Egypt as producers target the European market. In Málaga, Spain, the Axarquía region remains a major player, with the company TROPS holding a 55% market share of mangoes in the country. Despite a projected 30% decrease in production compared to the record-breaking 2025 campaign, Málaga expects to reach 40,000 tons this year, valued at approximately 60 million euros.
Simultaneously, Egyptian mango producers are expanding their presence in Europe. Egypt leverages a strategic production window that allows it to compete when other major suppliers like Brazil, Peru, and India have lower availability. The proximity to Europe also provides a logistical advantage, reducing transport costs and maintaining fruit quality. Egyptian exporters are increasingly meeting strict European standards regarding food safety, traceability, and sustainability to integrate into major logistics hubs such as Rotterdam, Algeciras, and Marseille.
