The improved strain of mango was introduced to Taiwan in 1954 from Florida, the United States by the (Sino-U.S.) Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction or the now Council for Agricultural Planning and Development. Later, the Fengshan Tropical Horticultural Experimental Station and Chiayi Agricultural Experimental Station chose five strains with the highest economic value-Irwin, Hidun, Zill, Kent and Keit for farmers to grow in Taiwan.
