The Heart Behind the Mango
Nagatomo Farm, located in Nishitosa City, Miyazaki Prefecture, is dedicated to cultivating mangos of exceptional quality and flavor. With an average sugar content exceeding 15%, the mangoes possess a rich sweetness and a smooth texture with minimal fibers. The farm is committed to harvesting these delicate fruits at their peak ripeness, ensuring that each mango is treated with care and expertise.
Growing mangoes is a meticulous process. Every aspect, from temperature management to fertilization, must be measured carefully to produce high-quality fruits. The farm carefully monitors the blooming timing, allowing them to gradually adjust the greenhouse temperature, ensuring the perfect conditions for mango development.
The extensive selection process involves choosing only a handful of fruits from thousands of blossoms. This dedication and labor ensure that every mango that leaves the farm is of the highest quality, embodying the sweet reward of persistence and care. Longtime farmer Nagatomo expresses his passion, stating, "If this mango can bring a smile to our customer's face, then all the effort is worth it."
