When exploring the vibrant landscape of Taiwanese agriculture, Pingtung mangoes are an indispensable highlight. Located in the tropics, Pingtung, with its abundant sunshine and unique combination of mountain and sea breezes, leads the island's harvest season. Every late spring and early summer, Pingtung is the first to supply Taiwan with its first batch of bright red and fragrant Irwin mangoes. Despite the challenges posed by climate fluctuations in 2025, the meticulous cultivation techniques of skilled farmers ensured that the "Zai Zong Hong" (a type of mango) fruit maintained its exceptional sweetness. This is not only a refreshing treat but also a precious result of the harmonious coexistence between farmers and nature, and its superior quality has earned the "Sun Fruit" a renowned reputation in the international market.

Pingtung County, a pioneer in mango production in Taiwan, boasts its core production area nestled in the Fangshan and Fangliao areas of southern Taiwan. This region enjoys a unique geographical advantage: abundant southern sunshine, mineral-rich hillside terrain, and strong sea and mountain winds. These natural forces have cultivated Pingtung's earliest-harvested Irwin mangoes in Taiwan, giving it a competitive edge in the market. The fruit is renowned internationally for its vibrant red color, rich and enticing aroma, and exceptionally sweet and chewy texture.

Pingtung mangoes are characterized by their diverse varieties and unique flavors. From the traditional, fragrant local mangoes to the improved Irwin mangoes (the main export product) with their delicate texture, sweet and sour taste, and bright red appearance, to the large, tender Jin Huang mangoes and the Wu Xiang mangoes with their unique longan aroma, Pingtung mangoes combine Southeast Asian flavors with local improvements to satisfy different tastes. Furthermore, the local terroir (such as the sunshine in Yujing, Tainan) creates a variety of tastes and aromas, making Pingtung a representative of the fruit kingdom.
