In a significant boost to India’s fresh produce export sector, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has successfully facilitated the first commercial sea shipment of premium Banganapalle mangoes from India to Singapore, according to a statement issued by the Commerce Ministry on Thursday.
The consignment, comprising 5 metric tonnes (MT) of Banganapalle mangoes, was exported by Osum
Food Solutions on June 11 and arrived in Singapore on June 24.
The successful shipment marks an important milestone in promoting cost-effective and sustainable export logistics for India’s horticultural produce while expanding market access for premium Indian mangoes.
The ICAR–Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture (CISH), played a key role in making the exercise a success.
