Vietnam imports nearly 500 tons of Chinese mangoes
VOV.VN - A number of Vietnam importers have recently signed contracts with Chinese partners to buy around 500 tons of small mangoes, said Hoang Trung, head of the Plant Protection Department (PDD) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
The country imports a huge amount of mangoes from China as July-August period is not mango harvesting season.
According to the PPD, small mango is mainly grown in the western region of Vietnam, China and Laos.
The department also rejected a rumour about artificial small mango on the market while affirming that it is real mango- one of 1,000 existing types of mangoes.
