Does anyone know where I can source Organic Dried Mango, I've contacted a few suppliers and non of them can provide certified organic, is it possible to find here?

 

Cheers

Certified by whom? It seems from my little exposure that "organic" has different definitions here.... A friend of mine lived next to an organic farm - he said they sprayed every day.... good luck.

 Would need to be US FDA Certified Organic

I cannot imagine that they would have any office or agents here... I guess the road to take would be to contact them. I think if a list exists of certified farms, it will be very short, though I doubt one exists.

Maybe they spray neem oil or seaweed extract? Or yeast or organic fertilizer. Even spraying copper is organic.

Thanks - interesting point - - I bet he would not know what they were spraying and just assumed pesticides. 

as far as i know ,there is no such thing as certifyed organic in thailand . even the royal projects use

chemicals .

i did alot of research for my restaurant at the time .

I think they spray potassiumnitrate to get them to flower offseason....which is just a fertilizer, a good one.

 

They also spray (i guess) something to stop mealybugs and copper for powdery mildew.

 

Without spraying you won't get many mango's. Also micronutrients have to be sprayed.

USA rules and regulations do not operate here

After all this general area is where they send all their chemicals that are banned from use in the USA, so the manufacturers can get rid of them at a profit

We are an organic certified farm and grow mangoes and also dry them. Feel free to contact us and try them, they are organic and sugar/additive free. We have an IFOAM certification and will get USDA and EU next year. So yes, it does exist in Thailand, you just have to look ;).
