The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has facilitated the first-ever air shipment of Karnataka’s Neelam and Totapuri mangoes to the Maldives, marking a significant milestone in India’s fresh fruit exports.
The export marks a new chapter in Karnataka’s mango export journey and is expected to encourage greater participation of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs), exporters and agri-entrepreneurs in tapping international markets for premium horticultural produce.
APEDA continues to work closely with State Governments, exporters, Farmer Producer Organizations, Farmer Producer Companies and other stakeholders to strengthen export infrastructure, facilitate global market access and promote India’s premium fruits in international markets. Such initiatives contribute to the diversification of India’s agricultural exports while creating sustainable opportunities for farmers and the horticulture sector.
