Mô tả

Tứ Quý Mango is one of Vietnam’s most distinctive fruit varieties, highly valued for its productivity, quality, and export potential. With the ability to bear fruit year-round, a sweet and pleasant flavor, attractive appearance, and rich nutritional value, Tứ Quý Mango is becoming a flagship product that elevates the reputation of Vietnamese fruit worldwide.

Overview of Tứ Quý Mango

Tứ Quý Mango originated in the southern provinces of Vietnam and has been widely cultivated since the 1990s. Unlike many other mango varieties, Tứ Quý Mango can flower and bear fruit throughout the year. Its name “Tứ Quý” literally means “Four Seasons,” highlighting its unique biological characteristic.

Thanks to its continuous fruiting ability, farmers can harvest several crops a year, increasing income and reducing seasonal risks. This variety is known for being relatively easy to care for, with good disease resistance and suitability to the Mekong Delta’s soil and climate conditions.

Outstanding Features of Tứ Quý Mango

Tứ Quý Mango is known for its large fruit size, averaging from 0.8 to 1.2 kilograms. The fruit is long and slender, with smooth green skin when unripe that turns pale yellow when ripe. Its flesh is soft, low in fiber, sweet, and lightly fragrant – making it a favorite in demanding markets like Japan, South Korea, and the EU.

In terms of nutrition, Tứ Quý Mango is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, beta-carotene, and antioxidants that help boost the immune system, improve vision, support digestion, and enhance skin health.

Key Growing Regions in Vietnam

Tứ Quý Mango is widely grown in the provinces of Cần Thơ, Hậu Giang, Tiền Giang, Vĩnh Long, and Đồng Tháp. These areas have fertile alluvial soil and a tropical monsoon climate, ideal for growing high-quality mangoes for export.

Farmers here have also adopted modern irrigation systems, protective coverings, and organic farming techniques to ensure high and consistent yields.

Export-Standard Cultivation Process

To meet export requirements, the production of Tứ Quý Mango follows strict standards such as VietGAP and GlobalGAP. From seedling selection, fertilization with organic compost, biological pest control to post-harvest handling, every stage is closely monitored.

After harvesting, the mangoes are sorted, washed, treated with hot water vapor to eliminate insect eggs, then packed in cushioned cartons and cold-stored at 13–15°C before being exported via refrigerated containers.

Consumption Markets and Export Potential

Tứ Quý Mango has entered major international markets including Japan, South Korea, the EU, the US, Australia, and New Zealand. Thanks to its delightful flavor, appealing appearance, and year-round harvest, it competes favorably with leading varieties from Thailand, India, and Mexico.

However, to access these markets, the product must comply with stringent food safety, origin traceability, and quarantine standards. This poses both a challenge and an incentive for Vietnamese mango growers to enhance their production practices.

Economic Value

Each hectare of Tứ Quý Mango can yield 20–25 tons annually. With stable prices and guaranteed sales to exporters, many farming households earn hundreds of millions of VND per year. This mango variety not only improves rural livelihoods but also contributes significantly to Vietnam’s fruit export turnover, reaching nearly \$500 million by 2024.

Culinary Uses and Processing

Besides being enjoyed fresh, Tứ Quý Mango is also used in various processed products such as:

• Dried mango slices
• Mango jam
• Mango smoothies and juices
• Dishes like mango salad, mango sticky rice

These products are widely consumed both domestically and internationally, adding value to the entire supply chain.

Challenges in Production and Export

Despite its potential, the Tứ Quý Mango industry still faces several challenges such as climate change, pest outbreaks, limited investment in technology, and poor post-harvest preservation. High logistics costs and strict import requirements also necessitate stronger coordination among the government, enterprises, and farmers.

Sustainable Development Directions

To ensure sustainable growth, Vietnam needs to boost high-tech agriculture, build national mango brands, expand to new markets like the Middle East and Africa, and develop agritourism in mango-growing regions.

Linking farmers, cooperatives, and enterprises into value chains will improve quality control, increase product value, and ensure stable market access.
