Kyaw Soe Naing, General Secretary, Myanmar Mango Market & Technology Dev’t Association said "In the plain region, the Seintalone mango market is almost empty. The Seintalone mangoes that are currently sold in the market are produced from Shan State and these mangoes are mostly exported to China. We can say that it is good price in Mandalay in the mango abundance season."

China mostly purchase Seintalone mango in the mango season and they also buy other mango species from Myanmar to export to other countries.
