Yaután Valley is home to the largest number of “Kent“ mango producers (1,605) in Casma province, which is one of the main mango-producing regions for export at the national level. The aim of research were to identify the main post-harvest diseases of mango, characterize the farms and producers, and evaluate the sustainability of the “Kent“ mango-producing farms in Yaután valley and district. Visits to mango farms were conducted, with observations and estimations of damage to the harvested fruit. Fruit samples were also taken for phytopathological analysis, as well as soil samples for nematological analysis and fertility characterization. Additionally, structured surveys were conducted with 139 producers to gather information on social, economic, and environmental aspects. Fruit flies, damage from thrips and powdery mildew during flowering and fruiting leading to harvest, scales and mealybugs, as well as “lenticelosis“ in fruits, were the main health problems on fruits. The analysis of social dimension predominantly showed male landowners with full secondary education, over 50 years old, owning their own adobe houses generally located on the same property, and having access to basic services like water and electricity. They mainly access medical services in Yaután town. The economic dimension analysis generally revealed farms smaller than 2.5 hectares, with various crops planted alongside mango. The predominant age of mango trees ranged from 11 to 15 years, with average yields of 11,543 kg/ha and production costs of S/ 5,261/ha. The environmental analysis showed the presence of other mango varieties (Edward, Haden, Criollo, etc.), with “Kent“ being the variety planted by everyone and occupying the largest area in the farms. Gravity irrigation was the most common method, and the main concern of the producers was pests and diseases, which resulted in high costs and the need for numerous pesticide applications during flowering, fruit growth, and pre-harvest. Economic and social sustainability indicators showed values greater than 2, indicating sustainability, while the environmental indicator showed values less than 2, making environmental indicator and the farms producing Kent mangoes were not sustainable. Finally, pests and diseases at harvest significantly affected exportable yields, posing a critical issue that needs to be addressed to gain better access to the export market.
