Tridge summary

The mango farming community in Cam Lam, Vietnam's primary mango-growing region, is facing significant challenges due to a significant drop in purchase prices and heavy losses caused by adverse weather conditions, increased agricultural costs, and an overlap in the production season with Chinese mangoes, leading to strong competition and a sharp decline in exports. The current price is nearly six times lower than last year, exacerbating the financial strain on farmers. To mitigate some of the losses, a local processing company has purchased and processed a substantial amount of mangoes into dried mango products. The situation highlights the difficulties faced by Vietnamese mango farmers due to adverse market conditions and climate, with farmers now focusing on domestic sales and value-added processing to offset the losses.
