BDO, a global leader in audit and assurance, on July 4, 2023 confirmed the outstanding success and high survival rate of the mango trees at Plantations International’s Kanchanaburi site. Following an extensive and rigorous audit, the international accounting firm counted a total of 14,400 mango trees, with an impressive 99.62% flourishing in optimum health, shattering the industry standard.

The independent tree count audit undertaken by BDO, a firm known for its stringent standards, revealed that 14,344 of the total mango trees are growing healthily and robustly. In contrast, only 56 trees were found to be struggling – a mortality rate of just 0.38%. This figure is a testament to the top-notch practices employed at the plantation, far surpassing the industry standard mortality rate of 10% for plantations under three years old.
