Soft dried mango has become one of the highest selling snacks in the current health conscious global market. As consumers reject processed-sugars and artificially prepared additives, then importers are fast seeking out natural, lightly prepared fruit to satisfy the growing demand.
Vietnam, which is one of the largest producers of mangoes in the world is fast emerging as the center of strategic supply of soft dried mango exports as well. Because of its tropical climate, affordable labor, and high technology of drying agriculture, Vietnamese suppliers have managed to supply high graded soft dried mango which is capable of fulfilling the standards of pickier markets like the United States, Japan, South Korea or Europe.
What is soft dried mango?
Soft dried mango is the mango slices that are dried slowly under low temperatures (average 55 to 65 C) so that the fruit should be able to maintain its natural flavor, color and chewing nature and allow it to take place. Soft dried mango does not contain much moisture like fully drying or crisp mango chips since the moisture level is still 12-20%. Thus, it is more preferable to eat and more similar to the fresh mango.
The product has optimum shelf life as well as natural freshness. It is usually prepared using ripened mango varieties such as Keo, Cat Chu, or Hoa Loc- the popular varieties cultivated in the Mekong Delta area in Vietnam.
Greatfoods, a leading Vietnamese exporter reports the following content of their soft dried mango:
- Moisture: 15–20%
- No sulfite preservatives
- Rich in fiber and beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A)
Why choose Vietnamese soft dried mango?
Vietnam is one of the strategic locations where importers can get soft dried mango in large quantities. Vietnam Ministry of Agriculture states that by 2023 agricultural regions of the country altogether cultivate more than 87,000 hectares of mango (southern provinces) with the approximate production of 870,000 metric tons of fresh mango per year. Constant crops and a perfect tropical weather system allow producing such varieties of high-quality dried fruits as Keo and Cat Chu that contain the required quantity of sweetness, aroma, and fiber.
The Vietnamese manufacturers have considered the use of improved drying techniques including low-heat drying and vacuum drying, and kept the nutrient content without use of artificial additives. Our soft dried mango at Greatfoods is free of sulfites, has 15-20 % moisture, contains a lot of beta- carotene and fiber. The approach leads to a soft, chewy texture and intrinsic mango flavor which makes them consistent with the rising demand of clean-label snacks in such markets as the US, EU, and Japan.
Vietnam is also a preferred supplier due to competitive prices and flexible options in terms of business to businesses. Most exporters give OEM/ODM enabled, and buyers can customize the sugar levels, slice size, and package. There is a broad market of reputable suppliers of certifications such as HACCP, ISO 22000, Halal, USDA Organic, and FDA registration. MOQs that begin at 200 500 kg allow even small-to-medium distributors to reach export-quality goods without a lot of risk.
In addition, the developed infrastructure aids quick international shipping in Vietnam. Logistics to North America, Europe and Asia can be provided via export hubs such as Ho Chi Minh Port. Exporters normally respond with all the documents; Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary Certificate, COA, and SGS reports. Vietnam is able to fulfill a partnership contract it initiated and offer quality goods but more importantly, just like with customer-supplier B2B relationships, the B2B partnership is highly reliable and trustworthy.
