Farm here in Darwin. I feel sure you will be able to get Mangos in Bali. Heres some info for you as a Mango lover. Mango, chicken and chilli a combo made in heaven.
The Mango season is very short - when the fruit ripens it tends to do so very quickly and is in the beginning of the wet (pre big rain period). So for us this is about the third week of October. Qld mangos come on a week or so later. We have KP's Kensington Pride mostly. The sad fact is for appox past 5 years it no longer pays us to pick. pack and transport our produce.
Our fruit falls to the ground and cleaned up by Magpie Geese. This is a common fruit growers story I know.
We get what we want and freeze it for our own use.
Makes you wonder how the supermarkets can charge as they do. Most of our beautiful mangos have weighed in at over 1 kg each. Gorgous colouring and taste - yum.
