The shipments mark a milestone in the government's efforts to penetrate premium overseas markets and create more income opportunities for Filipino farmers, the agency said.
Guimaras, known for its sweet mangoes, is expanding its global reach beyond traditional markets. The DA highlighted the growing ambitions to increase the presence of Philippine mangoes in high-value destinations.
