According to a report by ABC Rural, the competition from Vietnamese mangoes has made the price in the Southern Territories drop around 40 percent, from about AUD 80 (US$63) per tray last year to AUD50 (US$35) per tray this year.
Most of the exported green mangoes were sold to restaurants, not supermarkets, where they are being used in Southeast Asian cuisine.
