Delayed Shipment of Philippine Mangoes: A Step Towards Ensuring Quality and Biosecurity




We're excited to bring you an update on our much-anticipated shipment of Philippine mangoes! While we had initially aimed for the shipment to arrive this week, we have encountered a slight delay that we believe will benefit both our customers and the environment.


The Reason Behind the Delay


The Department of Agriculture, through its Bureau of Plant Industry, has imposed strict regulations on the export of mangoes from the Philippines to international markets. These regulations aim to ensure that mango produce entering foreign countries meets stringent quality and biosecurity standards.


Currently, there are limited areas approved by the Department of Agriculture for registered mango growers to export their produce. This meticulous approval process is essential for maintaining the integrity of our mango exports and safeguarding the biosecurity of importing countries.


Why is this Necessary?


Australia, in particular, has stringent regulations overseen by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry (DAFF). The DAFF requires assurance that all mangoes entering Australia have been produced using monitored farming methods and practices.


The Department of Agriculture's mandate to gather data from all farms aids in proper contact tracing, ensuring accountability at every step of the production process. This meticulous oversight ensures that, should any issues arise, the responsible farm can be identified promptly, allowing for swift corrective action.


What Does This Mean for You?


While this delay might be disappointing, we believe it underscores our commitment to delivering only the highest-quality mangoes to our customers. It also highlights our dedication to environmental stewardship and biosecurity, crucial factors in preserving Australia's rich biodiversity.


Looking Ahead

We anticipate that our mango shipment will most likely arrive next week, pending the final approvals from the Department of Agriculture. Rest assured, we are doing everything in our power to expedite this process without compromising on quality or safety.


Thank you for your understanding and patience. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to sharing the delicious taste of Philippine mangoes with you soon!

Stay tuned for more updates, and in the meantime, feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.


Stay Fresh, Stay Healthy!
