India Exports 12.5 Tons of Uttar Pradesh Mangoes to Dubai via Sea Route
India successfully exported 12.5 tons of Dashehari and Langra mangoes from Uttar Pradesh to Dubai via sea freight, marking the first commercial shipment under a 25-day harvest-to-market transit. Despite a 10% spoilage due to Gulf region delays, about 90% of the mangoes arrived in good condition. The sea route, developed with ICAR-CISH and APEDA support, offers a cost-effective alternative to air freight, increasing farmers' income by Rs 15-20 per kg and expanding export opportunities to Gulf and other markets.
