India Sends First Air Shipment of Karnataka Mangoes to Maldives to Boost Exports
India's first air shipment of Karnataka's Neelam and Totapuri mangoes to the Maldives marks a new export milestone, facilitated by APEDA. The one-metric-tonne consignment, sourced from farmers in Kolar district and exported by a woman-led enterprise, aims to promote late-season mango varieties internationally. This initiative highlights the growing role of Farmer Producer Organizations and women entrepreneurs in India's agricultural exports, offering farmers higher returns and expanding the country's mango export season beyond peak periods.
