沙特阿拉伯的吉贊地區在發展芒果種植和通過增加農民和農場的數量來擴大芒果産量方面邁出了巨大的一步。
Saudi Arabia’s Jazan Region has made huge steps in developing the cultivation of mango and expanding its production by increasing the number of farmers and farms.
2015年5月吉贊地區的芒果年産量是18000噸，并且在當年舉辦了一年一度的芒果節。在那時，該地區擁有芒果樹25萬棵，産出的芒果品種卻隻有30種。現在，該地區擁有19109個農場，芒果樹數量超過了100萬棵，年産量跳躍式地增長到年産65000噸。
