the Mango affair

Indians and mangoes. The love affair dates back centuries and the ‘King of Fruits’ has always had a special place in our hearts.

Mango

Mango the king of Fruits

Mango—the ‘King of Fruits’—is one of the most relished fruits in India and world over. When the Portuguese landed in Kerala, it wasn’t just spices that they took back with them. India is the largest producer of mango in the world, home to about 1,000 varieties having specific eco-geographical requirements for its growth.

Alphonso, Kesar, Totapuri and Banganpalli are the leading export varieties from India. Mango exports primarily take place in three forms: fresh mango, mango pulp, and mango slice. Some of India’s export competitors in the international market include Brazil, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Thailand, Yemen and the Netherlands.

In the current season, 30 Metric Tonne of mangoes have been exported to the EU, UK, Ireland, middle east countries, etc.
