Taiwan's premium mangoes exported to Europe for the first time
Taiwanese mangoes, particularly the Irwin and Summer Snow varieties, are being exported to Europe for the first time, with initial shipments to France and Britain. Despite extremely high export costs, demand remains strong, according to David Chen, CEO of fruit export company Natural House Taiwan. Taiwan produced over 100,000 tonnes of mangoes in 2025 but previously exported only a small percentage, mainly to Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea. The Taiwanese government has encouraged farmers to diversify export markets amid political friction with China. Growers like You Tsang-fu have sent trial shipments complying with strict EU pesticide residue and field management rules.
