Up to 25 tonnes of green mangoes grown in Mai Chau district of the northern mountainous province of Son La have recently been exported to Australia.

The initial batch of exported mangoes in the crop serve to affirm that the fruit is highly appreciated by Australian consumers due to their delicious taste and high quality.

The mangoes, which are the green-skinned type, were purchased and processed by two Vietnamese companies before subsequently being shipped to the Australian market.

Son La province also held a ceremony aimed at announcing trademark protection certificate for Son La mangoes.

Son La is home to 19,000 hectares of mango growing areas, with an estimated annual output of 65,000 tonnes.

The province has also provided a growing area code for exported mangoes and primarily focuses on applying advanced technology on production in accordance with VietGAP or GlobalGAP standards.
