Tien Giang Province of Vietnam exports first batch of green mangoes to the US market
The first batch of green mangoes was jointly organized by VINA T&T Import & Export Service Co., Ltd. and Thanh Binh Agricultural Products Import & Export Co., Ltd., with an export volume of 1 ton. Pham Van Trong, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Tien Giang Province, stressed at the ceremony that this is an important event that not only marks a new step for agriculture in promoting trade, but also helps to enhance the value of Vietnamese agricultural products, including Tien Giang's specialty fruits, in the international market. Vice Chairman Pham Van Trong said that the fresh mangoes officially exported to the United States today are the result of long-term negotiations between the relevant functional agencies of Vietnam and the United States, which has effectively opened up more new opportunities, helped local agricultural products enter the international market, and consolidated the status of agricultural products in Tien Giang Province. According to the report of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Tien Giang Province, the fruit planting area in the province is about 88,000 hectares, accounting for nearly 40% of the agricultural production land, with an average annual output of 1.8 million tons. Fruits in Tien Giang Province not only serve the domestic market, but are also exported to markets such as China, South Korea, Japan, the United States, New Zealand and Europe. Mango exports will bring more new opportunities, promote local mangoes to penetrate the global market, introduce foreign exchange, and provide sustainable livelihood security for farmers in professional planting areas.
