1. Introduction to Bac Kan Tangerine

Bac Kan Tangerine (Quýt Bắc Kạn) is a premium citrus specialty from the pristine mountainous province of Bac Kan in Northern Vietnam. Recognized with a Geographical Indication (GI), this tangerine variety is distinct from any other due to the unique high-altitude climate and mineral-rich soil of the region.

At Vinahugo, we take pride in bringing this forest-essence fruit to the global market. Bac Kan Tangerines are famous for their slightly flattened shape, thin yellow-orange skin, and a perfect “sweet-and-sour” balance. Unlike mass-produced sweet mandarins, these tangerines offer a refreshing, complex acidity that is highly prized by gourmet consumers and health-conscious enthusiasts.
