Product Specification
Quality
Mangoes are classified in three classes: Extra Class, Class I and Class II.
Information on quality requirements for each class can be found in the
Codex Alimentarius (Food code of WHO and FAO), the UNECE standards
for mangoes, and in the General Marketing Standards of Regulation (EC)
No. 543/2011. Mangoes should, at the very least, be intact, clean and
sound, free from pests, damage, abnormal external moisture, free of black
necrotic stains or trails and in a condition to withstand transport and
handling. The peduncle should not be longer than 1 cm.
EU quality standards in Regulation (EC) No. 1580/2007 explain that
imports of fresh fruit and vegetables from third countries must conform to
the marketing or equivalent standards. Checks on conformity must be
carried out before these goods enter Community customs territory, except
in the case of small lots which the inspection authorities/bodies consider to
be low risk. In third-party countries that provide satisfactory guarantees of
conformity, pre-export checks may be carried out by domestic inspection
bodies.

Legislative requirements
Considerations for action
Food safety and traceability: The basis of the
EUs food safety legislation is the General Food
Law (Regulation (EC) No 178/2002) which
prohibits the introduction of unsafe food to the
EU market. Food imported into the EU must
comply with the relevant requirements of food
law. This regulation defines traceability too, as
well as the ability to trace and follow food, feed,
and ingredients through all stages of production,
processing and distribution, and contains
provisions for traceability. Importers are similarly
affected as they will be required to identify from
whom the product was exported in the country
of origin. In practice, food operators are required
to ensure traceability between their sales and
their supplier records only (one step backwards
and one step forwards).

Non-legislative requirements
Considerations for action
In addition to EU and EFTA legal requirements,
other non-legal requirements must be met in
order to supply to European buyers. Industry
standards that extend further than the legal
requirements have emerged as a result of
retailer initiatives; these lay down minimum
rules of conduct, practices and requirements for
product quality and food handling.

The

increasingly
demanding ready-to-eat mangoes, ripened
in the destination country. The importers
will then demand containers of mangoes of
uniform quality and ripeness, taking into
account the time needed for transport and
ripening.

sharing.
Long-term
partnerships
are
preferred by EU buyers to ensure product
supply and quality.
Storytelling,
including
recipes,
novel
packaging, and premium quality are
methods for distinguishing your product.
Ready-to-eat mangoes are increasingly
popular,
requiring
excellent
logistical
processes. But besides this, there is still an
important market for air-transported ripe
picked mangoes in southern countries in
particular.
Use a service provider, agent or importer if
volumes supplied do not match ordered
volumes immediately. These specialised
traders have the means to match supply and
demand from their large customer base.
