Part of the Hellenic Agricultural Organisation – ELGO Dimitra – the Chania-based Institute of the Olive Tree, Subtropical Crops and Viticulture has been trialling the cultivation of tropical fruits such as the mango on its premises for the past 4 decades. Now, as an article in Haniotika Nea explains, the increases in temperature brought by climate change are producing a more favourable climate for their production and growers in Crete are becoming increasingly interested in the mango. The fruit is popular among local consumers but has hitherto been only available as an expensive import from far-off countries such as Brazil.
