More than 100 tons of Alphonso, Mallika, Banganapalli and Badami mangoes, grown in Karnataka, are being exported to countries like Bangladesh, the US and others. Due to the pandemic, there were no exports of the fruit for the last two-three years. This year, however, mangoes are getting ready to be exported to countries such as Singapore, UK, US, Bangladesh, Gulf and many others.
A pack house has been set up by the Karnataka State Agricultural Produce Processing & Export Corporation Limited (KAPPEC) in Pujanahalli to store tons of mangoes and export the fruit. The KAPPEC has already constituted a team of technical experts to oversee the packaging of mangoes in the pack house. The market is likely to get a good produce of the mangoes by the first or second week of May and exports are likely to commence soon, according to the KAPPEC officials.
