Guatemala has favorable conditions and a strategic location for exporting agricultural products to the United States. In this context, mango stands out as a crop with growing international demand. However, small producers face multiple constraints to participate in these markets, including lack of technical knowledge, economic constraints, logistical challenges and compliance with phytosanitary regulations. This document brings together key information on sustainable production and postharvest management practices aimed at improving yield and fruit quality. It also describes the export process to the United States, including mandatory treatments and required documentation. In addition, a financial analysis comparing net income under different export levels is presented. The results show that although all the scenarios analyzed generate positive net income and exporting allows higher income per unit of product, the profit margin varies significantly depending on the level of exporting. In some cases, higher margins are achieved even with lower export volumes, which shows that exporting more does not always mean higher profitability. This highlights the fact that exporting entails greater economic risks, especially for small producers with limited resources. Therefore, strategies such as cooperation among farmers, the shared use of containers and integration into consolidated commercial networks are highlighted as key mechanisms for reducing costs, mitigating risks and improving economic viability. In conclusion, the integration of good agronomic practices with strategic and financial planning is fundamental for the successful and sustainable participation of small producers in export markets.
