Panzhihua Mango

Panzhihua Mango

Panzhihua Mango is an agricultural product with geographical indication status.

　　Panzhihua Mango is a renowned specialty of Panzhihua City in Sichuan Province. This fruit boasts excellent qualities such as minimal fiber, sweet and fragrant taste, smooth texture, pleasant aroma, fine structure, and high nutritional value. It embodies the essence of tropical fruits and is hailed as the "King of Tropical Fruits."

　　Thanks to Panzhihua’s uniquely favorable light and heat resources, its South Asian tropical dry-hot valley climate, and abundant undeveloped land, the area has the conditions to host one of the largest mango production bases in China and even the world—with the highest altitude, highest latitude, latest maturation period, and highest quality. These factors provide a unique environment for the growth of Panzhihua Mangoes and the formation of their distinctive qualities.

　　Panzhihua Mangoes are known for their “minimal fiber, sweet and fragrant taste, smooth texture, pleasant aroma, fine structure, and high nutritional value.” They have high levels of soluble solids, total sugar content, and edible rate, and are rich in β-carotene and Vitamin C. Embodying the essence of tropical fruits and hailed as the "King of Tropical Fruits," they also offer considerable medicinal benefits. The late-maturing Panzhihua Mangoes ripen from September to October—1 to 2 months later than mangoes from other domestic production areas—giving them an edge in the late-season mango market. With appealing appearance, superior quality, late availability, strong market demand, high prices, and widespread consumer popularity, the high-quality late-maturing mango base in Panzhihua has been designated by the national government as a key supported and developed high-quality agricultural commodity production base.
