The Ataulfo mango (Mangifera indica L. var Ataulfo) is a tropical fruit native to the Soconusco region, Chiapas, Mexico. This represents a pillar of the economic-social development of the state and specifically of the region. Over the years, the production of this fruit has experienced significant increases that benefit its commercial chain, due to the tropical soils and environmental conditions typical of the area. Another aspect that has benefited development is the implementation of appropriate technologies for cultivation, such as integrated management of orchards, high planting densities, among others. In recent years, the Ataulfo variety has become the most important Mexican variety in the international market due to the high demand for exports to North America and Japan, making Mexico the main mango exporting country. The high international demand derives from the desirable organoleptic characteristics of the variety, such as sweet flavor, fleshy pulp and little fibrous, among other aroma and texture properties. However, in the Ataulfo mango production chain there are some problems that must be addressed in order to improve its profitability, as well as its commercialization and its correct valuation. Therefore, the objective of this work is to show the current situation of the production chain and the challenges to be faced in order to sustain it.
