In the heart of Cao Lanh (Dong Thap Province), mangoes are more than just a fruit; they are a cultural heritage nurtured by generations of expert farmers. This region is world-renowned for two premium varieties: the Cat Chu Mango and the Cat Mango. While the Cat Chu is loved for its unique rounded shape, smooth, slightly chewy texture, and a delicate balance of sweet and tart notes, the Cat Mango stands out with its elongated form, intense sweetness, and exceptionally high Vitamin C content (up to 350mg/kg). Each variety offers a distinct sensory journey, from the aroma to the very last bite.

The superior quality of Dong Thap mangoes is rooted in the unique terroir of the Tien River basin. The fertile alluvial soil, exceptionally rich in Potassium (1.66 - 2.92%), combined with over 2,300 hours of annual sunshine, provides the perfect environment for sugar and nutrient accumulation. The local climate is perfectly synchronized with the mango's growth cycle: the dry season facilitates successful flowering, while the rainy season provides ample water for fruit development, ensuring every mango is succulent and flavorful. Beyond nature’s favor, the secret to the prestige of Dong Thao mangoes lies in meticulous cultivation techniques. Local farmers employ traditional mounding and irrigation systems to manage water levels effectively. To ensure global export standards, every fruit is individually bagged early in its development to protect the skin and eliminate chemical residues. Harvested only at peak physiological maturity (85-95 days), Dong Thap mangoes guarantee an exquisite taste and flawless appearance, representing the pinnacle of Vietnamese agricultural excellence.
