Tridge summary

In 2025, Myanmar's mango industry is grappling with a 30% drop in Saint-Delong mango production, causing domestic prices to rise and reversing price trends with China. China's import of Myanmar mangoes is expected to fall by over 50% due to logistical challenges and high transport costs, leading to a 15% loss rate during transit. Myanmar, ranked fifth globally in mango exports, faces stiff competition from Thailand, Vietnam, and South America, compounded by outdated farming techniques and limited processing capacity. In 2025, 12% of exports were rejected by Chinese customs due to packaging issues, resulting in financial setbacks. To counter these challenges, Myanmar is seeking new markets in the Middle East and Africa and plans to improve its logistics by 2027. The government is also focusing on trade agreements, e-commerce, and establishing a geographical indication brand for its mangoes to boost exports.
