According to the Viet Nam Daily News, the mango plantation area in Vietnam has reached 87,000 hectares, of which the Jiulong River Delta accounts for 48%. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam has set that by 2030, the national mango plantation area will reach 140,000 hectares, the output will reach 1.5 million tons, the export value will reach 650 million U.S. dollars, and 70% of the fresh-keeping processing plant technology will reach the goal of advanced technology.
China is the most important export market for Vietnam's mangoes. 83.9% of Vietnam's mangoes are exported to China, with an export value of US$152 million. This is followed by Russia, the United States, South Korea, the European Union, Australia and Japan. In 2020, Vietnam's mango production will reach 880,000 tons, an increase of 4.9%. However, due to the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and strict border import and export control policies, fruit exports have declined during the same period, especially exports to China by about 25%.
According to data from the Agricultural Processing and Market Development Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam, Vietnam's mango exports in 2020 will exceed 180 million US dollars, accounting for only 1.15% of the world's total mango exports. The unit stated that the prerequisite for exporting mangoes is traceability of origin. In 2020, Jiulong River Delta has obtained 271 planting area codes. In particular, the 1,789 hectares of mango cultivation in Vietnam adopts the Vietnam Good Agricultural Practice (VietGap) certification standard and the Global Good Agricultural Practice Standard (GLOBAL GAP), accounting for 3.8% of the total area of mangoes. Therefore, it is necessary to further expand the mango planting area to meet export requirements.
