The Portuguese managed maritime routes, which were supplied by the Egyptians, and began to have contact with other civilizations of the world, and when they got to know this appreciated fruit, they began to commercialize it in Africa and Brazil, around the 16th century. But this does not end here, the Spanish, realized the great virtues of this majestic fruit, and as the sales of the Portuguese were growing at that time, so they also decided to market it and take it to their tropical colonies in the new world, forty years later, the Mango arrives at the island of Barbados.
