The mango industry in Fiji has become increasingly important in recent years as the Government and international donors seek to increase domestic fruit production, with the objective of improving food security and diversifying horticultural productivity. Currently, mango production in Fiji incurs high losses after harvest due to postharvest diseases. Such losses not only undermine industry profitability, but also create tangible disincentives for wider smallholder participation in the industry. To date, there have virtually been no studies done to determine the key pathogens causing postharvest disease of mango grown in Fiji, the susceptibility of local cultivars to postharvest disease, or the geographical differences in the incidence of postharvest diseases. Furthermore, even the most basic disease management practices are not implemented. This dearth of information currently impedes efforts to develop effective postharvest disease remediation in support of the Fiji mango industry.
