STUDY ON THE CURRENT SITUATION OF SUPPLY CHAIN FOR MANGO PRODUCTION IN CAM LAM DISTRICT - KHANH HOA PROVINCE

To stabilize and improve the income of local mango producers, a study on current status of mango distribution was carried out in Khanh Hoa province from 2014 - 2015. Results showed that 3 different supply chains have been available in mango production in the location, including (1) from the producers retailers consumers (7.5 - 7.7%); (2) from the producers Business owner whole sale markets retailers consumers (92.3 - 92.5%); (3) from the producers business owner export to China (47.3%). In case of Cam Lam district, mango producers bring their products directly to the collecting places (producers business owner), they can benefit much better since it has reduced the intermediate steps. As a matter of fact, the income distribution between producers and collectors was not transparent; ununiformed and unsafe products are still big problems. Because of that, the establishment of mango production cooperatives in which farmers have to produce high quality and safe products should be accordingly recommended.
