Taiwanese Supermarkets Sell Irwin Mangoes for NT$10, Sparking Shopping Frenzy

Taiwanese supermarkets are offering Irwin mangoes for an astonishing NT$10 (approximately $0.31 USD) each, sparking a shopping frenzy. The limited-time promotion, running from May 30 to June 1 at PX Mart and other associated stores, has seen the fruit, normally priced at NT$29, sell out rapidly. Each customer is limited to three mangoes per purchase, with a daily store-wide limit of 50,000 mangoes.

I only managed to grab one NT$10 mango. They sold out instantly after restocking. Everyone's hands are so fast!

The promotion has led to mixed reactions among consumers. While some shoppers have expressed delight at securing the heavily discounted fruit, others have voiced frustration. Social media platforms buzzed with posts from those who managed to buy the mangoes, with one user on Threads humorously noting how quickly they sold out after a restock. However, many others complained on PX Mart's Facebook page, reporting that they visited multiple stores multiple times without success, feeling misled by the advertised low price.

The store clerk said they were snatched up as soon as they were put on the shelves. NT$10 per mango is just too cheap.

This promotional push coincides with a particularly abundant harvest of Irwin mangoes in Taiwan this year, described as the best in three years. Major growing regions like Pingtung and Tainan are experiencing significant yields. Pingtung's Fangshan Township held its annual Irwin Mango Cultural Festival on May 30, drawing considerable buyer interest. Tainan, which cultivates over 7,000 hectares of mangoes, the most in the country, has also launched its "2026 Tainan Mango Direct from Farm Ordering Information" service, consolidating offers from eight suppliers for consumers eager to taste the seasonal fruit.

NT$10 mangoes must not have been restocked. I went twice in the morning and they were completely empty. I visited several stores and found none, don't be fooled.
