South Africa has officially opened its doors to a variety of Indian mangoes, marking a significant milestone in the agricultural trade between the two countries. Simmi Unnikrishnan, Assistant General Manager at the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) of India, announced this development during the Bharat Mango Utsav 2024 event held at the Indian Consulate. This decision comes after a year of negotiations and is expected to bolster the mango trade significantly.
 
The announcement was made in the presence of local traders and media, highlighting the completion of a 1.5 metric tonne shipment of mangoes from Gujarat to South Africa. The varieties introduced include Alfonso, Totapuri, Rajapuri, Badami, Kesar, and Neelam, showcasing India's rich diversity in mango production. India, being the world's largest mango producer, accounts for half of the global production, while South Africa holds a 17% share.
