Geographical Indication: A Lever for Cao Lãnh Mangoes to Reach the World

Dong Thap province, a fertile region in the Mekong Delta, is renowned for its high-quality agricultural products, particularly Cao Lãnh mangoes. Cultivated in nutrient-rich soil and favorable climate conditions, these mangoes, primarily Hoa Loc and Cat Chu varieties, boast a uniquely sweet taste, soft flesh, and distinct aroma. The 2012 geographical indication designation for Cao Lãnh mangoes solidified their value and marketability, paving the way for global export. This prestigious recognition protects growers' rights and provides a competitive edge in international markets like Europe, the US, and Japan. Dong Thap's agricultural sector actively supports farmers with training in advanced cultivation techniques and clean production, ensuring high-quality fresh mango for export. Despite challenges like climate change and market competition, the province remains committed to expanding its global presence and enhancing the value of Cao Lãnh mangoes through research, technology, and market development.
