Renhe Mango

Renhe Mango

　　Renhe Mango is a specialty of Renhe District, Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province. Renhe Mangoes feature excellent fruit shape, vibrant color, high sugar content, delicious flavor, and high yield per mu. Hunsala Village in the northern part of Dalongtan Township, Renhe District, is widely known as the “hometown of mangoes”.

　　Thanks to Renhe District’s unique geographical location, abundant light and heat resources, distinct “vertical climate,” and over 2,697.6 hours of annual sunshine, along with an average annual temperature of 20.4°C, the area is highly suitable for cultivating high-quality late-maturing mangoes. Since the 1980s, Renhe District began introducing and experimenting with mango cultivation. By the mid-1990s, the industry gradually reached a significant scale. However, due to the large planting area, a shortage of seedlings, a mix of varieties, and a market dominated by varieties such as “Sanyang Mango,” “Cao Mango,” “Nameless Mango,” and “Ru Mango,” Renhe mangoes were not competitive against those from Hainan and Guangxi. After years of research and refinement by the Agricultural Bureau and local mango cooperatives, suitable mango cultivars were finally selected. Premium varieties such as Keitt, Kent, Red Elephant, and Irwin were introduced to local growers. Today, Renhe District has developed 92,000 mu of mango orchards, accounting for approximately 70% of the city’s total mango cultivation area.
