Pakistani mangoes in the USA
How Pakistani mangoes reach the United States, when the season runs, and how to buy boxes or trade with the orchard directly.
The short version
The United States is the hardest of the three markets on this site to supply, and the most tightly regulated. Fruit entering the US has to meet import requirements set by the US authorities, and that shapes the route, the timing and the price.
We are not going to publish specifics about treatment or approvals here, because the requirements are strict and they change. Nothing on this page should be read as a claim that we are currently approved to export to the United States. Ask us before you plan around it.
We have a US contact number in Houston, and US enquiries can reach us there directly.
When the season runs
The same harvest as everywhere else, Sindh first and Punjab later, but the US window tends to be shorter and later than the UK or Gulf because of the extra steps before fruit can be shipped.
| Period | Usually arriving | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| June | Sindhri | The earliest realistic arrivals. |
| July to August | Chaunsa | The bulk of what reaches the US. |
| September onward | Nothing fresh | Season over. |

How the fruit gets there
Fresh mangoes travel by air. The fruit is picked firmer than it would be for the local market, graded, treated, packed in single layers and flown, usually reaching the destination within a day or two of leaving the packhouse. Sea freight is cheaper but only works on shorter routes with tight temperature control.
Because it is picked firm, fruit that arrives abroad almost always needs a few days at home before it is ready. Open the box on arrival, lay the mangoes out in a single layer and check them daily. Do not refrigerate any that are still hard.
The full chain is set out in how Pakistani mangoes reach the UK, UAE and US.
