When Is Indian Mango Season in Canada?
Unlike the year-round mangoes in grocery stores, real Indian mangoes follow the Indian summer. In Canada, that means a short, glorious window — and if you miss it, you wait a year.
The 2026 season at a glance
Timing shifts a little with each harvest, but the pattern holds:
- April — first Alphonso batches land; the earliest, most sought-after fruit
- May — Alphonso peaks; first Kesar batches arrive
- June — Kesar peaks; Alphonso winds down
- Early July — final Kesar batches; season closes
Why batches sell out
Air-freighted mangoes arrive in limited quantities — a batch is whatever ripened that week in Gujarat or Maharashtra, not whatever a warehouse has stockpiled. Importers like Keri In Windsor deliberately keep batches small so fruit is delivered within days of landing.
In practice, that means each arrival is spoken for quickly — GTA delivery runs especially. Pre-ordering is less a marketing line than a survival strategy.
How to make sure you don't miss it
Place a pre-order any time — even off-season. You'll be first in line when the new season's batches are confirmed, and you pay nothing until your box is scheduled for delivery.
