Taiwan’s mango exports to Japan grow year over year to reflect its quality and safety attributes
The AFA expresses that Taiwan cultivates a diverse line of mango varieties including Irwin, Jinhuang, Yuwen, Xishi, and Keitt. They are mainly cultivated in southern Taiwan, with orchards located in hilly areas with good drainage, ample sunshine, and large in-day temperature fluctuation. These factors contribute to mango's firm texture, high sugary content, flaming red skin upon ripening, and thick aromas. Farmers have been exceptionally attentive to safety and quality management by implementing pruning and bagging early. Obtaining TAP certification further warrants the quality of mangos. The export volume grew from 431 metric tons in 2016 to 869 metric tons in 2021, showing a whopping 102% growth. As of July 11, this year (2022), Japan had bought 472 metric tons to become the second largest importer of Taiwanese mangos, and as a market, it has further potential to grow.

The AFA points out that Taiwanese mangos are rich in ingredients like dietary fibers and natural anti-oxidants like β-Carotene. They are an excellent choice to promote health for modern people who seek longevity. With the harvest season of mangos in the Tainan region unfolding as we speak, we shouldn't be behind our foreign guests in adding mangos to our dietary mix to improve our health.
