From the Highlands of Kon Tum: How Sao Mai Turns Tropical Fruit into Puree and Concentrate for the World

By Sao Mai | May 01, 2025 | Categories: Puree, Concentrate, Agriculture

Up in the cool highlands of Kon Tum, where red basalt soil meets year-round sunlight, something remarkable is growing — and it’s not just fruit. It’s the future of Vietnamese agriculture.

At Sao Mai Agro, we’re building our supply chain from the ground up, starting with our own specialized fruit farming zone in Kon Tum. From these carefully cultivated orchards, we create premium fruit puree and concentrate products that are ready to meet the needs of global food and beverage brands.

Why Kon Tum?

Kon Tum’s elevation and mild climate make it a hidden gem for tropical fruit cultivation. The region offers:

  • Long sunlight hours and clean water sources
  • Ideal conditions for mango, passion fruit, guava, and citrus
  • Fresh, fertile soil rarely affected by industrial pollution

By establishing a dedicated farming zone, Sao Mai controls every step of production — from planting and harvest to processing — ensuring consistency, safety, and traceability.

From Kon Tum to the Factory

Once harvested at peak ripeness, fruits are transported directly to our processing facility. There, they are transformed into:

  • Fruit Puree: Thick, smooth, and clean — perfect for beverages, bakery, baby food, and desserts
  • Fruit Concentrate: Reduced juice with powerful flavor — ideal for dairy, sauces, jams, and large-scale production

Our factory uses Italian equipment and food safety systems certified to FSSC, HACCP, and ISO standards. Every product is made to meet the strictest export requirements.

A Smart Solution for Global Brands

Purees and concentrates aren’t just convenient — they’re scalable, stable, and cost-efficient. Our products are used in:

  • Juice blends and smoothies
  • Ice cream and yogurt
  • Functional drinks and plant-based foods
  • Pastries, sauces, and more

With year-round supply and reliable sourcing from Kon Tum, our partners don’t have to worry about fruit seasons or inconsistent quality.

Real Fruit, Real Origin

At Sao Mai, origin matters. Every drop of puree and every drum of concentrate can be traced back to our own fields in Kon Tum. That’s how we guarantee authenticity and transparency — values that global consumers care about more than ever.

Final Thought

The highlands of Kon Tum aren’t just growing fruit — they’re growing trust, innovation, and long-term value. If your brand is looking for tropical fruit ingredients with a clean label and a clear origin, look no further.
