This study adopted the constant market share (CMS) model to analyze the trend and the degree of competitiveness in Japanese mango imports market during 1998-2009. With 2004 as the cutoff point, we compare the performance of exports and the variability of market competitiveness before and after tracking system implement for Japan''s major source countries of mango export in order to understand Taiwan''s mango export competitiveness in the international market changes. The empirical results show that the import value growth of Japan mango imports source countries, only Philippines is positive. Especially Taiwan grew 90 times in 1998-2009. According to CMS analysis, Taiwan’s growth effects and competitiveness effects were still increasing, especially in 2004.
