Mango enters the United States after hot-water treatment at packing plants certified by PIPAA inspectors (the temperature and time parameters do not appear in the source cited and should be taken from the APHIS/PIPAA work plan). Guatemala has ~11,000 ha of mango, of which ~2,500 export; the industry target is to reach 7,000-8,000 export hectares by 2030 (a tripling); the United States absorbs ≈95% of exports, in the March-April window between the end of Peru's season and the start of Mexico's. Projects under way: releasing areas from hot-water treatment, and irradiation protocols at destination. The figure of a '~3% share of the US market' does not appear in the source and was withdrawn.
