Cayman farmers expect small mango harvest
Now is one of the favourite times of year for many Cayman Islands residents: mango season.
But those who love this delicious fruit might need to get their mangoes while they can because there are signs that this year’s crop will not be a good one.
Prime mango season in the Cayman Islands generally runs from 1 June to 31 July, but Willie Ebanks, one of the Island’s top producers, is concerned about harvest this year.
“Last year there was not a big crop, and this year is following on from that,” Farmer Willie said. “Starting around the beginning of June, we expect to harvest around 4,000 pounds of mangoes per day, but right now we are getting closer to 800.”
