Q&A

Question 1. Where are most of the mangoes from Fangshan sold? Are they only sold in Taiwan?

To sell them to South Korea or Japan, the mangoes need to be sterilized at high temperatures, but this alters the flavor. Therefore, most of the mangoes are grown domestically in Taiwan, attracting both domestic and international tourists.

Question 2. How are pests and diseases prevented?

The mangoes are wrapped in fruit bags. For the Oriental fruit fly, the scent of the female fly attracts the male fly to a container before further processing. Some pesticides are also used to treat the mangoes.

Q&A

Question 1. What is the Oriental Fruit Fly? Mango flowers have low attraction for bees but are extremely attractive to flies. Farmers often use minced meat or soybean powder during the flowering period to attract flies, increasing pollination rates and thus improving yield and fruit quality. The cost of fruit flies is also cheaper than renting Mifeng.

Question 2. What type of terrain is suitable for mangoes? Fangshan mangoes are grown on hillsides facing the sea and backed by mountains, which have the advantages of strong sunlight, strong sea breezes, and good drainage. The unique downhill winds inhibit the growth of branches and leaves, concentrating nutrients and creating a top-quality taste with chewy flesh and extremely high sweetness.
