The export of Can Tho mango batch marks the transformation of the agricultural sector in response to market demands, shifting from fragmented, spontaneous production methods to production in the direction of close linkage along the value chain with enterprises to form specialized concentrated growing areas with sufficient conditions to implement technical production processes to ensure quality, in which green-skinned elephant mango is a typical product.

According to Vice Chairman of Can Tho People's Committee Nguyen Ngoc He, the locality has a total fruit growing area of over 25,000 hectares, including 8 types of trees with growing areas ranging from over 1,000 to over 4,800 hectares. In recent times, Can Tho has built a key fruit growing area, focusing on and forming typical branded products. Currently, Can Tho has 193 growing area codes with a total area of 2,600 hectares, the city's high-quality products have been exported to demanding and high-value markets.

The first batch of mangoes exported to the Australian and US markets opens a new direction for the mango industry, and is also a link orientation for other fruit growing regions.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc He, Vice Chairman of Can Tho People's Committee, also frankly acknowledged that unconcentrated and scattered production is still common, and the production scale is small, making it difficult to meet the requirements for granting growing area codes. Therefore, cooperatives need to cooperate with people and businesses to develop raw material areas to meet the requirements of businesses in export.

The export of mangoes to the Australian and US markets is the result of cooperatives, businesses, local authorities and fruit farmers in Can Tho city, initially opening a new direction for the mango industry, and at the same time orienting the linkage for other fruit growing regions.
