　　The Hometown of Chinese Mangoes – Tian Dong, Baise, Guangxi

　　Located in the heart of the Youjiang River Valley, Tian Dong enjoys a subtropical monsoon climate, making it one of the most suitable regions in China for mango cultivation. Since the 1990s, the county has entered a phase of large-scale introduction and cultivation of mango varieties. Beihai Qifeng Group developed the “Xiangzhou Ten-Thousand-Mu Mango Farm,” Nanning Wanguai Agricultural Company planted the “Helo 500-Mu Mango Farm,” and other enterprises have driven the local mango industry towards large-scale planting, standardized management, and post-harvest commercialization. In 1996, the county was named the “Hometown of Chinese Mangoes” by the Ministry of Agriculture, and in 2006, it was further recognized as a “Guangxi Pollution-Free Agricultural Product (Mango) Production Demonstration Base County.” Currently, Tian Dong’s fragrant mango plantations cover more than 130,000 mu, featuring mainly varieties such as Tai Nong No.1, Gui Re No.7, and Jin Huang Mango. Annual production exceeds 30,000 tons, generating an output value of 120 million yuan. Products are sold across the country and exported to countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom. Tian Dong Fragrant Mango has become a vital pillar of the local agricultural economy, with farmers’ incomes growing steadily year by year.

　　Tian Dong’s mango cultivation boasts a long history, dating back to the Song and Yuan dynasties when it was offered as a tribute to the imperial court. Starting in 1985, the county vigorously developed mango farming, establishing itself as a key commodity production base in the Youjiang River Valley. Mango cultivation became a pillar industry for revitalizing the rural economy and accelerating poverty alleviation among residents in the old revolutionary base areas. Since then, mango farming in Tian Dong has expanded in contiguous, large-scale plots, gradually forming a nationally renowned mango-producing region.

　　Upon visiting Tian Dong County, in the four towns along the Youjiang River Valley – Pingma, Xiangzhou, Linfeng, and Silin – apart from vast expanses of “bamboo seas” and “sugarcane seas,” you’ll find vast “mango seas.” Mango trees grow in abundance not only around farmhouses but also in schoolyards and government compounds. For the people of Tian Dong, mango trees are part of everyday life. In the process of expanding cultivation, the county has focused on building five types of premium mango production bases: off-season mango production bases, sightseeing orchards and boutique mango bases, Kaite mango premium production bases, and export-oriented mango production bases. These bases serve as demonstrations and catalysts for continuous upgrading and development of the mango industry. “The mangoes are ripe, the mangoes are ripe… Sweetness fills the air, gracing smiling faces…” In Tian Dong, everyone—from the elderly to young children—can sing the tune of “The Mangoes Are Ripe.”

　　“Authentic mangoes come from Tian Dong.” Tian Dong is a long-renowned production base for high-quality Chinese mangoes. Currently, the county’s mango plantations span over 130,000 mu, producing about 30,000 tons annually with an output value exceeding 120 million yuan. There are 37 mango varieties grown here, including Guiqi, Zi Hua, Hong Xiangya, Tai Nong, Jin Huang, and Kaite. Throughout the mango production process, Tian Dong actively promotes green and environmentally friendly pest control techniques such as physical prevention. The county strictly adheres to pollution-free and residue-free cultivation practices, ensuring standardized, high-quality, and regulated production. This approach fosters the creation of green, residue-free, and organic food products, preserving the mangoes’ original ecological characteristics. “Heaven-gifted beauty of Tian Dong, authentically fragrant mangoes” and “Tian Dong mangoes, naturally excellent fruits” – these phrases reflect the heartfelt praise of consumers who adore Tian Dong Fragrant Mangoes for their attractive shape, appealing color, sweet flesh, unique aroma, and rich nutrition.
