This is the “tuong” mango variety grown in the northern mountainousprovince of Son La, said Dam Quang Thang, Director of Agricare Vietnam, addingthat his company decided to invest in green mango as this kind of fruit has notbeen popular in Australia.
To date, only two local cooperatives in Chieng Hac commune, Yen Chaudistrict and Hat Lat commune, Mai Son district have been granted area codes togrow green mango for export to Australia.
If the green mango is sold well in Australia, the Plant ProtectionDepartment will work with Son La authorities to issue codes for other mangoplanting areas. Meanwhile, Agricare Vietnam will support farmers in productionto ensure the product constantly meets strict requirements of the Australianmarket.
