In Mexico, the 'Manila' and 'Ataulfo' varieties of Philippine origin are
grown, while in Brazil, in addition to the main export varieties (Table 10.4),
local varieties from material introduced by the Portuguese are also produced.
In most of Latin America, dif erent 'criollo' mango varieties are grown, which
belong to the Indochina-Philippine group. These criollo types have survived
as such since they are polyembryonic and almost exclusively propagated
by seeds.
In the last few years some new varieties have been demanded by the US
market, the largest import market, and also by the EU; these include 'Edward',
a Florida variety, 'Ataulfo', a polyembryonic variety from Mexico, and others,
such as 'Madame Francis' from Haiti and 'Julie' from Jamaica and the
Caribbean. The EU is also starting to import other varieties such as 'Amelie'
from Africa and 'Nam Dok Mai' from Thailand.
Hawaiian cultivars, such as 'Pope', 'Gouveia', 'Momi-K', 'Ah Ping',
'Harders' and 'Joe Welch', are all derived from monoembryonic parents. The
recently released improved cultivars are 'Rapoza' and 'Exel', the former being
a seedling of 'Irwin' and having large fruit with excellent eating quality;
