Challenges in Mango Exports
India, despite being the largest mango producer in the world with 20 million tons annually, exports less than 0.5% of its total production due to severe infrastructural challenges. Uttar Pradesh, a key mango-producing state contributing over a quarter of India's output, lacks the necessary facilities for preserving mangoes for export. The delicate nature of Indian mango varieties necessitates radiation treatment and temperature-controlled storage, which are not readily available in UP. Consequently, mangoes are transported to cities with these facilities, risking spoilage during transit and raising costs due to the need for air freight for timely delivery to distant markets.
