First batch of mangoes sent to US from Nashik.
Apr 18, 2022

The first batch of mangoes processed at the Lasalgaon irradiation plant was exported to the USA on Tuesday.
 
The mangoes are being processed at Lasalgaon under the supervision of quarantine inspectors from the USA. As per the norms, irradiation of mangoes is mandatory before exporting them to the USA.
 
India could not export mangoes to the USA for the past two years due to the Covid pandemic. But the export has started again after the 2019 mango season.
A Mumbai-based exporter processed 3 metric tonne of Alphonso and Kesar varieties of the mangoes at the Lasalgaon. After processing, the consignment of mangoes was sent by road to Mumbai airport and then exported to the USA by air.
 
The officials at the Lasalgaon plant said they have started processing mangoes from Monday. 'This year, we have plans to process around 680 metric tonne of mangoes,' they added.
 
The country had exported 1,300 metric tonne of mangoes in 2019, which were irradiated at Lasalgaon and Mumbai irradiation centres. Of which, 680 metric tonne were processed at Lasalgaon and the remaining 620 metric tonne at the Vashi plant. The Lasalgaon irradiation plant is owned by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), while the irradiation facility at Vashi is owned by the Maharashtra State Agriculture Marketing Board (MSAMB).
