According to Nguyen Xuan Hong, Head of the Vegetable Protection Department in Vietnam, Vietnamese mango exports to Japan are likely to increase hugely.
It has taken 5 years for Vietnamese authorities to be able to export the Cat Chu mangoes onto the Japanese market. Vietnamese companies, especially those in the South can now export mangoes to Japan, a promising future for mango exporters.
Vietnamese mangoes in Japan are sold for $8-10/kilo, i.e. $2-3 more than Thai mangoes.
