With CA storage, the storage time of mangoes, depending on the type and quality, is approx. 4-6 weeks under conditions of e.g. 13°C, 3-5%O2 and 5-8% CO2. If the mangoes at e.g. 8-13°C and atmospheric conditions, the storage time is approx. 2-4 weeks.

The optimal harvest time is difficult to determine for many varieties of mangoes because there is often no relationship between ripeness and skin quality, color and firmness. The ripening of mangos is accelerated in ripening rooms by temporarily increasing the ethylene content.
