Freeze-Dried Mango from Vietnam: Bulk and Private-Label Supply
FruitBuys supplies 100% freeze-dried mango (Mangifera indica L.) from the Mekong Delta as slices, cubes, bites and granules. Golden-yellow, crisp, with the sweet-tart aroma of ripe tropical mango, it snaps when you bite it and melts on the tongue. It ships in bulk for food manufacturers and in retail packs for private-label brands, released at 3–5% moisture and water activity ≤0.30 on the same sample, with a lot COA.
FruitBuys runs the chain end to end: fruit sourcing, one qualified processing facility locked per contract, quality control, packing and export documents under one commercial contact. You approve one defined product and receive that product.

The number that protects your margin is the arrival figure. The biggest loss in freeze-dried fruit is opening cartons at destination and finding a fifth of the bag turned to dust that cannot go into a retail pouch. Gentle vacuum holds pieces still in the bag through 30 days of ocean swell without crushing the porous structure, which is how ≥85% whole pieces reach your warehouse. Which cut suits which application is set out in our formats and applications guide. Need powder? Freeze-dried mango powder is milled from the same fruit; see the mango powder buyer’s guide.
Packaging
| Option | Detail |
| Bulk | 5 kg PET/Al/PE foil bags, gently vacuumed to sit flat, with a food-grade desiccant sachet inside; 5-ply export cartons |
| Export carton | 58 × 28 × 34 cm, 5 kg net |
| Retail / private label | 50 g, 100 g, 500 g, 1 kg aluminium-foil zip pouches, gently vacuumed with a desiccant sachet, or as requested |
Vietnam’s air runs near 80% humidity; freeze-dried mango left in it for minutes starts pulling moisture back and turns chewy halfway across the ocean. Every bag is filled and sealed in a packing room held below 35% RH, so the crunch your customer opens is the crunch that left the dryer. Pouch choice and seal checks are in our packaging and freight guide.

Freeze-dried mango fills a container by volume, not weight. Floor loading carries about 35–50% less freight per kilogram than palletizing, so we recommend it unless your warehouse requires pallets. See why freeze-dried mango costs what it does.

FAQ
- What moisture and water activity do you release at? 3–5% moisture and water activity at or below 0.30, both measured on the same sample. A lot outside either does not ship.
- Is it 100% mango? Yes: no added sugar and no added sulphite. The COA shows SO₂ below 10 ppm.
- How many kilograms of fresh mango go into 1 kg? About 9.7–11.6 kg of whole fruit, or 6.3–6.7 kg of peeled flesh, depending on cultivar and grade.
- Does it need refrigerated shipping? No. In sealed foil bags it ships in a standard dry container.
- Is it ready to eat? Yes. Fruit is washed and sanitized before cutting, dried and packed in hygiene-zoned rooms, and Salmonella and E. coli are tested on every full container. It goes straight from pouch to cereal bowl, snack bag or chocolate line.
- Can you pack under our brand? Yes, OEM/ODM from 500 kg per SKU. We fix the product specification first, then the pouch and label.
