Cam Lam district is known as the mango capital of Khanh Hoa province, with a total area of over 7,500 ha. The main varieties include Australian mangoes (about 3,500 ha) and Four Seasons mangoes (about 2,000 ha), with other varieties covering the remaining area. Approximately 4,800 ha of mangoes are currently being harvested, with a total production of over 38,000 tons of fresh fruit/year. Over the past three years, a group of three 90s members in the district has developed and processed ten different mango value-added products. Besides mango tea and mango milk candies, their product range includes dried mango, mango rice paper, mango cakes, mango smoothies, mango ice cream, mango sticky rice and mango pudding. In addition, the group has already partnered with farmers to produce mangoes according to VietGAP standards and has developed nearly 50 hectares of organic mango cultivation. VNA Photo: Đặng Tuấn
