林波波省最近的雨水有益于芒果生长，尽管一些果园遭受了一定程度的风害，但损害是极小的。
Recent good rain in Limpopo Province has been beneficial to mangoes, although some orchards experienced a degree of wind damage which should be minimal.
芒果、荔枝和鳄梨行业组织 Subtrop 的首席执行官德里克·唐金 (Derek Donkin) 指出，不同产地的芒果季节前景不同，在这个阶段很难给出确切的估计。
Prospects for the mango season differ over the various production regions, and it’s difficult to give a firm estimate at this stage, notes Derek Donkin, CEO of Subtrop, the industry organisation for mangoes, litchis and avocados.
主要的收获季节仅在 12 月进行，但第一批 Tommy Atkins 芒果已投放市场。
The major harvesting only takes place from December but the first Tommy Atkins mangoes have arrived on the market.
“我估计商业芒果产量比去年减少了 15%，”南非芒果种植者协会主席 Pieter Buys 说。“没有灌溉的非正式芒果种植户可能会减少更多，至20% 左右。”
“I reckon a commercial mango crop of 15% lower than last year,” says Pieter Buys, chairperson of the South African Mango Growers’ Association. “Informal mango farmers without irrigation could be down by more, 20% or so.”
去年芒果产量为 75,000 吨。
Last year saw a mango crop of 75,000 tonnes.
“对于芒果来说，这是奇怪的一年，”彼得评论道。他解释说，开花不均匀，而且持续了很长时间，结果授粉不稳定，现在同一棵树上有小果有大果，这将需要更多的劳动力，在收获期间多次进出果园。
“It’s been an odd year on mangoes,” Pieter remarks. Flowering was uneven, he explains, and took place over a long period, with the result that pollination was erratic and now there are small fruit as well as large fruit on the same tree, which will require more labour during the harvesting period to move through orchards multiple times.
