Yen Chau district currently has over 12,000 hectares of fruit trees, including more than 3,340 hectares of mangoes. In 2025, mango production is estimated to exceed 26,000 tonnes. The district’s round mango variety has been granted a geographical indication registration certificate and a brand identity system by the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam. As many as 207 hectares have been certified under VietGAP, GlobalGAP, and organic standards; 298 hectares have been granted planting area codes for export.

The Yen Chau Mango Festival 2025 will take place from May 30 to June 1, featuring a variety of engaging and meaningful activities, such as agricultural product exhibitions; mango picking competitions; traditional Xoe dance contests; ethnic costume showcases (both traditional and modern); crafts and skill contests; folk games; and tours of mango orchards.

She urged provincial departments and localities to continue applying scientific and technological advances in production and post-harvest preservation; support farmers in improving skills to meet VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards; and enhance market connectivity, brand building, and sustainable consumption.

She also called on the business community, distributors, and exporters to pay more attention to Yen Chau’s mangoes and other valuable agricultural products, supporting farmers in developing value chains and expanding markets.

During the festival, VACNE leaders announced the decision and awarded certificates recognising five Vietnam Heritage Trees: a tamarind tree and a mango tree in Kha hamlet, Sap Vat commune; a banyan tree and a tea tree in Luong and On Oc hamlet, Muong Lum commune; and a dracontomelon (sau) tree in Na Nga hamlet, Chieng Hac commune.

These trees, each several hundred years old, are considered living historical witnesses and are closely tied to the cultural and spiritual life of generations of local people.
