Second Philippine exporter ships Carabao mangoes to Canada
Weekly shipments are planned as exporters build a larger Canadian market.
The Philippine government has launched a second exporter to ship Carabao mangoes to Canada, according to the Department of Agriculture. On September 18, 250 cartons from Mensch FilAm Corp. were flown to Vancouver, joining the first shipment in June to Toronto. The second supply line aims to provide a more consistent delivery of the sweet fruit to Canadian retailers and Asian supermarkets.
Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. stated that this move is part of a broader effort to open new markets for Philippine farm products and increase agricultural export earnings. In 2025, the Philippines produced approximately 710,000 metric tons of mangoes, with 92% consumed locally and the remainder exported primarily to Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan.
Canada has become one of several new markets targeted by the government, which previously announced the first commercial shipment of Carabao mangoes to Italy in June 2025.
