Mango
The export of Thai mangoes to Japan was permitted in March 1987 with the condition that the fruit must be subjected to Vapour Heat Treatment (VHT). However, the volume was very small . This is not due to VHT since more than 4,000 tons of Philippine mangoes were imported after receiving the same treatment. Fruit store in Japan say anthranose and stem end rots are very serious at their stores, so they do not want to handle Thai mangoes.
