As Hurricane Erick made its way through the Pacific, Mexico’s mango industry breathed a collective sigh of relief—the storm ultimately caused no significant damage to mango crops. But while the harvest was spared, the storm served as a clear reminder of the ongoing vulnerability of one of the country’s most important fruit exports.
Mexico is the largest supplier of mangoes to the U.S. market, and its supply chain is highly exposed to climate threats. Although Erick weakened before making landfall, the mere anticipation of damage raised concerns among growers and exporters. This event highlights how even non-destructive weather patterns can disrupt operations—through harvest delays, logistical slowdowns, or export uncertainty.
Industry stakeholders are now more focused than ever on reinforcing infrastructure, improving contingency plans, and building diversified sourcing strategies. With climate volatility on the rise, a more resilient supply chain isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
For businesses sourcing mangoes, this moment offers an opportunity to reassess procurement plans. Diversifying origins and locking in reliable partnerships—especially in countries like Peru, Ecuador, or Guatemala—can reduce exposure to sudden weather-related setbacks in Mexico.
