Good weather and a nifty piece of technology have combined to produce a bumper crop of tasty fruit this season, the Australian Mango Industry Association says.
The mango industry has recently adopted new scanning technology that allows fruit to be checked - without damage - while it is still on the tree.
Infrared scanners let mango growers measure the dry matter content of fruit before it is picked, which can be used as an indication of how mature the fruit is.
This in turn gives an indication of how tasty the fruit will become once it is ripened.
Dry matter content is a good rule of thumb for how much starch and sugar are in the fruit, and therefore a good indicator of taste, according to the Australian Mango Industry Association.
Sandy Groves, from Groves Grown Tropical Fruit near Yeppoon, said the use of infrared scanners gave a helpful indication of fruit maturity.
"The mango industry has a number of these guns and they go around and test fruit and tell you how mature it is,” she said.
