"We may be considered by the Guinness Book of World Records as having the most flavorful mango in the world, but there is a very slim chance for Philippine mangoes to expand in the US main market. There is no way for us right now to compete with producers like Mexico and Peru," said Roberto Amores, president of the Philippine Mango Exporters Confederation Inc. and Philippine Food Processors and Exporters Organization Inc. (Philfoodex).
