Viet Nam among World’s 13th Largest Mango Producer

VN is world’s 13th largest mango producer

Director Nguyen Quoc Toan of the MARD’s Department of Processing and Market Development said if Viet Nam wants to increase mango exports to large markets, it needs to consider developing its value chain from production to processing and packaging so as to meet all requirements of importing countries.

In 2020, Viet Nam’s total mango productivity was around 893,201 tons, up 6.5  percent on-year.

Mango is one of the main tropical fruits grown in Viet Nam, second only to bananas.

Most Vietnamese mango production is concentrated in the Mekong Delta region, which accounts for 48 percent of the country’s total production area and produced 567,732 tons last year, nearly two thirds of the total national output.

Last year, mango exports exceeded US$180 million, accounting for 1.15 percent of the total global export value of mango (US$12.3 billion). 

Therefore, there is a potential for Viet Nam to increase its mango exports.

China was the largest importer of Vietnamese mango, to a value of US$151.8 million, followed by Russia with US$8.4 million and Papua New Guinea with US$5.5 million.

It was followed by Russia, the US, the Republic of Korea (RoK), the EU, Australia, and Japan.
