Uttar Pradesh To Export 40 Tonnes Of Mangoes To Japan, Malaysia, And The US

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath revealed that the state will export 40 tonnes of mangoes to Japan and Malaysia this year and will also export the famous Dussehri mangoes to the US.

“While the price of Dussehri mangoes in India ranges between Rs 60 to Rs 100 per kilogram, their price in the US market has risen to Rs 900 per kilogram. Considering duties, cargo, and airfare costs, sending one kilogram of mango to America could cost up to Rs 250-300. Even then, farmers and gardeners would save around Rs 600 per kilogram of mango. This will be for the first time in the last 160 years, we will be exporting Dussehri mangoes to the US,” Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath state when inaugurating the Uttar Pradesh Mango Festival 2024 at Awadh Shilp Gram.

He added: “In collaboration with the Central government, the state has established four pack houses in Saharanpur, Amroha, Lucknow, and Varanasi to support the farmers.”

Global Market

The Chief Minister emphasized that the state government aims to ensure that mangoes from Uttar Pradesh reach not only the domestic market but also the global market.

Uttar Pradesh produces 58 lakh metric tonnes of mangoes on just 315,000 hectares of land, accounting for 25 to 30 per cent of India’s total mango production.

The state has established four pack houses in Saharanpur, Amroha, Lucknow, and Varanasi to support the farmers.

The Chief Minister stressed the importance of identifying potential export markets and expanding reach to those countries.

The three-day Uttar Pradesh Mango Festival 2024 will feature a mango-eating competition, a training seminar, and over 700 varieties of mangoes.
