Big success in export of mangoes
In fact, steps are being taken in this direction to promote the export of Indian mangoes. Now mangoes will be exported not by plane but by sea route. This success was achieved when 4.3 tonnes of Banganapalli mangoes from Andhra Pradesh were successfully sent to Singapore in a special refrigerated (reefer) container. This technology has been developed by ICAR-Central Institute of Subtropical Horticulture (ICAR-CISH), Lucknow in collaboration with APEDA.

Cost will also be less
Till now, premium Indian mangoes were mostly exported by air or plane. In this the transportation cost ranged from Rs 150 to Rs 250 per kg. This cost will reduce after shipping by sea route. Its cost can come down to Rs 13 to 20 per kg. This means the expenses of exporters will be much less.
Will the long journey be possible?
The biggest challenge in exporting mangoes by sea route was that the mangoes should not get spoiled during the long sea journey. For this, scientists have created such a technology in which chemical-free farming, Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), scientific plucking, grading, packing and proper management after harvesting were adopted. Apart from this, hot water treatment and CISH-Met Wash technology was used on mangoes, which maintained their quality, reduced the risk of diseases and increased the shelf life. With this new technology, mangoes can remain fresh for 30 days.
