Hi-las
Marketing Corporation, a pioneer in the Philippine
mango industry, has been making inroads to the world
as a major producer/exporter of fresh and processed
Philippine Carabao Mangoes… the best mangoes
in the world!
Nature has gifted the Philippine Super Mango with
a honeyed smell, firm texture, and a golden color,
just like the golden brightness of the sun! Philippine
Super Mango is a very rich source of Vitamin C when
green and becomes full of Vitamin A as it ripens!
Ripe mango also contains a high source of beta-carotene
and phosphorous…very good for the health. |

With
more than 27 years of solid experience, Hi-las mangoes
are made available to markets in the world throughout
the whole year. With firmly established networks of
farm management units all over the country, Hi-las
implements Good Agricultural Practice (GAP)
to all its accredited mango farms. This established
network helps to assure safe and good quality production
which translates to good quality mangoes complete
with traceability records at source. Utilizing state-of-the-art
and fully computerized VHT (Vapor Heat Treatment)
facilities equipped with special instrumentations
capable of maintaining the firm texture and prolonging
shelf life of fresh mangoes, Hi-las is able to comply
with the stringent requirements of importing countries
such as Japan, Korea, USA, and Australia. This special
quality of Hi-las mangoes, combined with careful post-
VHT systems of handling prior to shipment, adds to
its better marketability and is greatly appreciated
by our customers. |
Hi-las

In 1986, Hi-las supplemented its product mix
by diversifying into the frozen mango business
thru the use of a Stal Brand air blast freezing
equipment from Sweden capable of producing
IQF products (Individually Quick Frozen) at
an annual processing capacity of 1,500MT of
fruit solids and puree. Hi-las also installed
steam fruit dryers utilizing technology from
Australia to optimize its product mix with
the production and export of dried mangoes.
The steam dryers are equipped with calibrated
temperature sensors inside the drying chambers
to monitor and prevent cold spots to assure
a constant and even temperature resulting
in a uniform moisture content and softness
of the dried fruit. Hi-las will also produce
other dried fruit products such as dried pineapple
and papaya in the near future.
Hi-las
also engages in the production and exportation
of other Agricultural products such as Fresh
Japanese Okra (Okura). The company established
an efficient cold chain system of processing
and handling fresh okra from farm to its packing
room up to the shipment assuring its quality
of freshness all the time. The other agricultural
products the company engages in are Papaya,
Pineapple, Onions, Mature and Young Coconuts.
We continue
to grow and improve in the pursuit of excellence. |
