Mango ripening, sorting and packing
From arrival and temperature-controlled storage to targeted ripening, retail-ready packing and delivery. ERP Varekamp manages the complete mango programme with one point of contact and one clear plan.
Mango programmes depend on precise timing. Product condition varies according to origin, season, variety and batch. At the same time, retailers expect mangoes that match the agreed sales moment. Not too early and not too late, but aligned with the remaining journey through the supply chain.
ERP Varekamp combines mango storage with specialist ripening, quality control, sorting and customer-specific packing. Order picking and transport planning are then aligned with the required delivery date.
This creates one coordinated process, with fewer handovers and greater control over quality, capacity and timing.

Mango ripening as part of one complete flow
The quality of a mango programme is not determined in the ripening room alone. The condition on arrival, storage, processing and remaining transport time all affect the final result.
That is why we bring all relevant stages together:
- Unloading, registration and quality checks
- Temperature-controlled mango storage
- Preparing and monitoring the ripening plan
- Measurements and adjustments during the process
- Sorting according to product specification
- Mango packing, repacking and labelling
- Order picking and transport planning
One team monitors the complete flow. This allows planning, ripening, quality and production to respond directly when a batch develops differently from expected.
Mango ripening for the right sales moment
Mango ripening starts with a careful assessment of the batch. We consider the condition on arrival, origin, variety, product specification and planned destination.
Based on this information, a targeted ripening plan is prepared. During the ripening process, our specialists monitor the development of the mangoes. The programme is adjusted where necessary.
We look beyond the moment the batch leaves ERP Varekamp. A mango that will spend several more days travelling to a distribution centre requires a different stage of ripeness from a ready-to-eat mango intended for immediate sale.
We align the process with:
- the required ripeness on delivery;
- the remaining transport and distribution time;
- the planned sales moment;
- the requirements of the customer or retailer;
- the required shelf life within the programme.
Delivery
Order picking and transport planning are aligned with the agreed destination and delivery time. This keeps the complete process from arrival to customer clear and coordinated.
Sorting
The mangoes can be sorted according to agreed criteria, including size, colour, external quality and ripeness.
Ripening
Our ripening specialists prepare a targeted ripening plan. During the process, they monitor the development of the mangoes and make adjustments where necessary.
Storage
The mangoes are stored under controlled conditions. Temperature, product condition and storage time are aligned with the next stage of the process.
Arrival
The mangoes are unloaded, registered and checked. We assess the condition of the batch and compare it with the agreed product specification and schedule.
Ready-to-eat mango for retail programmes
A ready-to-eat mango programme depends on predictability. The mango must develop towards the required eating ripeness within the agreed period. This requires ripening, planning and delivery to be closely coordinated. We agree the required result in advance and continue to monitor the development of the batch throughout the process.
This allows us to align mango programmes with different destinations. These range from batches that will continue to develop within the supply chain to ripe mangoes intended for rapid delivery to retail or foodservice customers.
Quality control throughout the mango programme
Quality control does not take place only on arrival or immediately before delivery. We monitor the batch during the different stages of the process.
- Quality checks on arrival
- Monitoring during storage
- Measurements during ripening
- Checks during sorting and packing
- Final inspection before despatch
- Registration and traceability
By continuing to monitor the development of the batch, we can respond in time and keep the process aligned with the agreed specifications.
Who we process mangoes for
Importers
After arrival, you need a clear understanding of the condition and potential of a batch. We translate the product specification and schedule into one practical programme for storage, ripening, sorting and packing.
Retail suppliers
Retail programmes require predictable ripeness, suitable packaging and accurate labelling. We align each stage with the planned sales moment.
Exporters and trading companies
Different destinations require different sizes, stages of ripeness and packaging formats. We process mangoes according to the market, customer and destination.
Organisations with changing volumes
Retail promotions, seasonal peaks and changing arrival schedules require flexibility. By combining several services, we can respond quickly without losing control of the process.

Can you ripen mangoes for different retail programmes?
Yes. The ripening plan is aligned with the condition on arrival, the required product specification, the destination and the planned sales moment.
A mango that will spend several more days travelling through the supply chain requires a different delivery stage from a ready-to-eat mango intended for immediate sale. During the process, our specialists monitor the development of the batch and make adjustments where necessary.
Can importers have mangoes ripened, sorted and packed by one partner?
Yes. ERP Varekamp can combine temperature-controlled storage, mango ripening, sorting, packing and transport planning within one programme.
This keeps product information within one coordinated process and reduces the number of handovers between different service providers.
Can you sort mangoes after ripening?
Yes. Mangoes can be sorted according to agreed criteria, including size, colour, external quality, ripeness and destination.
This allows different product flows within one batch to be matched with suitable customers, packaging formats or sales programmes.
Which packaging formats are available for mango?
The packaging is aligned with the condition of the product, its destination and the requirements of the customer or retailer.
Available solutions include flowpack, foodtainers, topseal, sealing, cardboard packaging, single-layer packs and other customer-specific formats. We also provide labels, barcodes and product information.
Ripened mangoes are not packed in netting or processed on a Girsac line.
Can you provide ready-to-eat mangoes?
We can align mango programmes with a ready-to-eat destination. We agree the required product specification, remaining supply-chain time and planned sales moment in advance.
The exact result remains dependent on the condition and development of the individual batch. We therefore continue to monitor and assess the mangoes throughout the process.
Can you scale up during peak weeks and retail promotions?
ERP Varekamp is equipped to handle changing volumes and retail programmes. The available options depend on the arrival schedule, product specifications, required processing and available capacity.
By agreeing volumes, schedules and cut-off times in advance, storage, ripening, sorting, packing and delivery can be coordinated more effectively.
