The US is considered to be a challenging market to enter due to its strict standards, although it offers plenty of potential for local products. The shipment to the US signals a positive start for Son La province’s agricultural exports.

The export of mangoes ultimately helps local farmers improve their lives, therefore opening the door for further export items to the global market in the future.
