Irradiation of mangoes for US export to restart at Lasalgaon.
Jan 20, 2022
After a gap of two years, mangoes will again be exportered to the United States from Lasalgaon’s irradiation plant this year.Mango export to the US from the irradiation plant could not take place over the past two years due to the pandemic. The plant, owned by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and currently operated by a private firm, is now gearing up to start processing mangoes for export again from April.
As per the norms, irradiation of mangoes is mandatory before exporting them to the US. The irradiation process is conducted under the supervision of quarantine inspectors from the US.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) had imposed restrictions on international travel for the past two years. As a result, quarantine inspectors could not visit India, and mango export could not take place.
However, USDA recently approved market access for Indian mangoes.Officials from an agency involved in the operation of the irradiation facility at Lasalgaon said, 'There were certain restrictions for the past two years, and the mangoes could not be exported to the US after the 2019 season. It will restart after two years.'
'We are expecting the quarantine inspectors from the US to reach India by March-end, and the processing of mangoes at the irradiation plant will begin in the first week of April if everything works out as planned,' said the officials at the Lasalgaon plant. 'We have set a target of irradiating about 600 tonne of mangoes that will be exported to the US this season,' they added.
There are two irradiation centres in Maharashtra — Vashi in Mumbai and Lasalgaon in Nashik district, — where the irradiation process on mangoes is done.
While the Vashi plant is owned by the Maharashtra State Agriculture Marketing Board (MSAMB), the Lasalgaon plant is owned by BARC.
In 2019, the country had exported 1,300 metric tonne of mangoes, which were irradiated at Lasalgaon and Mumbai plants.
While Lasalgaon had processed 680 tonne of mangoes, the Vashi plant had processed 620 tonne of mangoes in the 2019 mango season.
