According to statistics from the Customs, in August, Vietnam’s exports of mango and its processed products reached over 27 million USD. This is an increase of over 22% compared to August 2024.
In the first 8 months of the year, Vietnam earned over 205 million USD from fresh mango exports, an increase of 13% compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, exports of processed mango products reached 88 million USD, a slight increase of 7%.
Currently, mangoes are among the top 10 largest exported fruits and vegetables of Vietnam. Notably, Vietnamese mangoes account for up to 97% of the imported mango market share in China, far surpassing competitors such as Peru, Australia, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
Mangoes from Vietnam are famous in China because of their reasonable price and quality.
Mango consumption in China has increased significantly in recent years thanks to a growing preference for tropical fruits, both fresh and processed ones. China is also experiencing a shortage of domestic supply during the off-season, making imported mangoes an important option for stabilizing the market.
The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association assesses that Vietnamese mangoes are attractive due to their stable quality, reasonable prices, flexible seasonality, high productivity, and low labor costs. In particular, specialty mango varieties such as Hoa Loc Cat and Chu Cat have a delicious, sweet flavor that is very well-suited to the tastes of Chinese consumers.
Earlier this year, Tien Giang province exported the first ton of green-skinned mangoes to the US and 6 tons to the Australian market.
Mr. Daniel J. Kritenbrink, former U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, once shared about his first time enjoying mangoes in Can Tho City in 2018: “That was the best mango I’ve ever eaten. It can be said that this type of mango is one of the best in the world.”
In recent years, mango has become one of the key fruits in the Mekong Delta, bringing high economic value. The Mekong Delta now has nearly 2,000 hectares of mangoes certified under VietGAP and GlobalGAP. In addition to exporting to China, Vietnam also supplies demanding markets such as the US, South Korea, Japan, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.
Since the beginning of October 2025, mango growers are even more encouraged as mango prices have been rising, ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 VND/kg depending on the variety, compared to September. In An Giang, the current price for Taiwanese and Chinese green-skinned mangoes, grade 1, is between 12,000 and 15,000 VND/kg; grade 2 is from 6,000 to 8,000 VND/kg.
For households linked to businesses or cooperatives, the selling price can be 10 to 20% higher than the market price. It is now the off-season, so mango production has decreased compared to the beginning of the year, leading to a shortage of supply in the market. Meanwhile, domestic consumption and export demand have increased.
About 140,000 hectares of mango cultivation, with a production of 1.5 million tons and an export value reaching 650 million USD, is the target set by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment for Vietnam by 2030.
