The main objective of this program is to develop a desirable Brazilian mango variety with superior characteristics which includes dwarf plant with high yield and acceptable commercial fruits (red blush peel, firm, sweet and fiberless pulp). The hybridization program started by using hand pollination work, althrough opened pollination work has been established recently. A total of 1339 hybrid selections has been obtained and two varieties (Embrapa Roxa 141 and Embrapa Alfa 142) were already released. Is this paper, the characteristics of the most promising hybrid selections and varieties are described.  aBrazil  ahybridization  amangoes  avarieties  aCerrado  aManga  aMangifera Indica  aBrasil  aCultivar  aHibridizacao  aRegiao Central1 aVARGAS RAMOS, V.
