Indian Mango Sales Reach Record Levels in US Amid Growing Demand
Sales of Indian mangoes, including premium varieties like Alphonso and Himayat, have reached record highs in the US this summer. This growth is driven by increased availability, innovative packaging for retailers such as Costco, promotional campaigns, and direct deliveries to neighborhoods with large Indian populations. Importers use community outreach via WhatsApp to engage customers, turning purchases into nostalgic celebrations. Despite rising air freight costs linked to the Iran war, exports to the US may rise 30% year-on-year, supported by an extended export season.
