Splendid by Porvenir has officially unveiled its latest addition, the Keitt mango variety, under the label 'Keitt Kong.' The timing of this launch coincides with the peak of the Mexican mango season, with projections indicating a 3% increase in U.S. imports of the fruit variety.
The Keitt Kong mango variety adheres to the highest quality standards. Its standout characteristics include its generous size and its juicy nature. Given the nature of this unique variety, supplies are limited, and availability is expected only until October.
“The northwest region of the country is witnessing exceptional mango production, underscoring a compelling proposition for retailers by ensuring a robust and dependable supply. In effect, it extends the Mexican season and offers retailers the advantage of staying in Mexico before moving to the off-shore mango season,” said Splendid President Daniel Ibarra.
