The commune has over 122 hectares of mangoes certified under VietGAP standards; more than 50 hectares have been granted cultivation area codes for export; and 32 fruit cooperatives are currently operating, participating in production linkages and product consumption networks. In the 2026 crop, the commune has proactively implemented trade promotion activities, product branding campaigns, supply-demand matching, and market expansion initiatives.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Cong delivers a speech at the festival. 

In his remarks at the opening ceremony, Vice Chairman Cong acknowledged and commended the achievements in developing the commodity mango production zone in Yen Chau commune. He urged local authorities to continue promoting the application of scientific and technological advances, expand production areas under quality standards, improve the management of cultivation area codes, strengthen production–processing–consumption linkages, and enhance trade promotion and branding efforts for Yen Chau mangoes. These measures, he noted, will help increase product value, raise farmers’ incomes, and promote sustainable agricultural development.
