Around the world, the mango industry has developed rapidly and the variety has become more diverse. Many consumers are interested in this sweet fruit, not only because of its sweet taste, but also because of its high nutritional value. “We planted 150,000 mu of mangoes in Cambodia. Now we plant 15,000 mu and more than 400,000 plants of mangoes. In April this year, mangoes were on the market, and after November, they achieved full production. The main varieties are: Australian mangoes, Jin Huang, Kate, Gui Mian and Tai Nong. These five varieties account for 99% of the mangoes planted, and the other 1% are scattered among 90 other varieties. In addition to purchasing mangoes from all over the world, we are also cultivating the best varieties ourselves.” said Jin Huaping of Zhejiang Gonghe Agricultural Development Co., Ltd.
“We developed and planted mangoes in the forest land of Cambodia 4 years ago, relying on its fertile soil in a pure natural environment. We grew trees using high quality fertilizers to ensure the best quality mangoes in order to satisfy the various markets around the world.
Quality requirements
Cambodia is a beautiful country with suitable temperature conditions and a good tropical climate, which is more conducive to the growth of mango trees. By scientifically planting fruit trees under the management of more than 300 planting technicians in the park, we can produce fruit two seasons a year and can provide an uninterrupted supply throughout the year."
“Aussie mangoes are currently the most popular. Our Australian mangoes are very adaptable to the climate of Cambodia. The quality of the output is also very good. Jin Huang and Kate are relatively large mangoes. The flesh is thicker and consumers also like it."
“Our mango production started in 2018 and they officially entered the market in 2019. Our mangoes will be produced all year round. The first season will start in April 2019, and the second season will be in November 2019. The volume will reach 5,000 tons. We will produce 2 seasons a year. Although is is currently sold to China through Vietnam, soon it will also be available in France, Russia, South Korea and Hong Kong."
The number of mangoes produced in Latin American countries is also particularly large each year. The competition in the mango market is fierce. However, Mr. Jin stated: “The mangoes in these countries are too far away from the Chinese market, and the transportation costs are high, so they will have little impact on our main target market. However, we will have some influence on the upcoming development of the European market and we believe that our different production times and mango varieties will help us get good returns from the mangoes."
