Leading producer and exporter of Baby/Sugar mangoes in Colombia
Colfrutta is a leading producer and exporter of Sugar mangoes in Colombia, with a long history in the development of sugar mango plantations and exports to Europe and North America.
We were pioneers on developing exports of mango in the northern area of Colombia, in the «Mi Cabañita» farm, we were one of the first to be certified by the ICA «Colombian Agricultural Institute» as an export farm, knowledge that we constantly share with small farmers of the region.
The sugar/baby mango is only found in the northern region of Colombia, in the Magdalena department, near the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta. The combination of the waters, microclimate, and dry conditions from this particular region, cannot be replicated anywhere else. The fruit has unique combination of colors, from red, orange, pink to yellow with a strong sweet scent not found in other varieties of mango.

"When we talk about Colombian mango, people think of sugar mango. We have made it the reference abroad. Colombia is recognized as a supplier throughout the world, and it is thanks to the international market."

“Colombian mangoes have a very good opportunity to integrate into the mango supply network in the United States. I think that the special ones, such as sugar, are what Colombia should focus on, since in terms of the most common red mango"
