Manny Piñol, the Secretary of the Agriculture Department, mentioned that they currently are planning to sell a total of a million kilos of fresh mangoes by this month.

Where can people buy these discounted mangoes?

People can purchase what the Agriculture Department is offering at the TienDA Mango Marketing Program which will be held in Metro Manila.

Piñol shared the current situation in his Facebook post. He said that the oversupply was because of the rainfall of mango flowering and fruiting this season. He said that local processors are aware of this current situation and how it can impact the market.

Farmers estimate a surplus of 2 million kilos which they said would just rot if the government does not help them sell the fruits. Local processors, aware of the surplus, have also dropped their buying prices.”
