The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A 12.5-tonne consignment of Uttar Pradesh Dashehari and Langra mangoes has reached Dubai by sea for the first time, after a 25-day journey in a refrigerated container, with nearly 90% of the fruit still market-ready.
- The shipment used a post-harvest protocol developed by ICAR-CISH and APEDA, including the METWASH shelf-life extension technology.
- Because sea freight is much cheaper than air freight, exporters could pay growers an additional Rs 15-20 per kg.
- The ministry says the success could open the door to larger, more affordable mango exports from Uttar Pradesh and other producing states.
What to watch next
- Whether exporters follow up with regular commercial sea shipments of mangoes to the Gulf and other markets
- Whether other mango-producing states adopt the ICAR-CISH/APEDA protocol for sea exports
- Whether farmers continue to receive higher prices under the sea-freight export channel
