More Philippine Mangoes Now Exportable to the United States;
President Arroyo and Ambassador Kenney Tour Mango Plant
(An excerpt)
In a March 28 ceremony at the Hi-Las mango processing and packing plant in Taguig City, U.S. Ambassador Kristie A. Kenney and Philippine Agricultural Secretary Arthur Yap presented President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo with the signed Work Plan for the export of mangoes to the United States, another step forward in the expanding agricultural relationship between the U.S. and the Philippines
The Work Plan allows for increased export of Philippine mangoes, permitting mangoes from all provinces in the Philippines, except Palawan, to be exported to Hawaii and Guam.
The Philippines can also export mangoes from Guimaras Island to all parts of the United States, including the mainland, after vapor heat treatment and is also conducting research to establish protocols that will would qualify the Philippines to export more mangoes from all areas to the United States mainland.

I beg to differ, I have not seen a single Philippine Mango sold here in Concord, California. I have been scouring the Filipino and Oriental stores here but no luck so why are they saying that more Philippine mangoes are to be exported here when there had never been any ???
