From field to fruit bowl<\/p>\n
Naomi has been working at Yex for three years and is responsible for mango imports.
\n\u201cI\u2019m in daily contact with growers from Brazil, Africa, and the Dominican Republic. They grow the mangoes, which are then shipped by container to Rotterdam. In our warehouse, we process them further depending on what the customer needs: hard mangoes or ready-to-eat ones.\u201d<\/p>\n
All mangoes arrive hard. \u201cIf a customer wants hard mangoes, they go straight to them. If they prefer ready-to-eat mangoes, they first go to our ripening chambers, where our ripening experts ensure they\u2019re perfectly ready for consumption at just the right moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why hard mangoes?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a deliberate choice to also offer hard mangoes under the Discovered brand,\u201d Naomi explains. \u201cWe wanted to make sure it truly added value. Now, supermarket customers can choose: a mango that still needs a few days to ripen, or one that\u2019s ready to enjoy right away \u2013 both in the same recognisable blue box.\u201d<\/p>\n
Quality always comes first. \u201cWe only work with partners we know well and who have proven to deliver top quality. That\u2019s how we guarantee the right taste, colour, and shelf life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Available all year round<\/p>\n
To ensure year-round supply, Yex imports mangoes from various countries. \u201cEach country has its own season and varieties. Brazilian mangoes are often a bit more tangy, while the \u2018Kent\u2019 variety tends to be sweeter, regardless of its origin. That knowledge is essential to always provide customers with the best mangoes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Challenges and pride<\/p>\n
Importing mangoes doesn\u2019t come without challenges. \u201cThe climate plays a major role. Heavy rainfall can affect quality. And sometimes, like during storm Benjamin, there can be delays at sea and in the harbour.\u201d<\/p>\n
Naomi is proud of how quickly things moved. \u201cWe carefully selected the right partner, coordinated the box design, and within just a few weeks, the first container was already at our doorstep. A beautiful blue box full of flavour!\u201d<\/p>\n
