Three mango treatment plants installed in US to ease import process
Earlier, Americans were reluctant to import mangoes due to fruit fly and other issues, but now they have installed radiation plants in Texas, Lova, and Mississippi states for mango treatment to get good quality fruit from the world.
Mangoes are cultivated on about 271,700 acres in Punjab province and it produces 128,000 tonnes of mangoes annually.
The agriculture department has proposed that farmers and exporters should export mangoes to the USA at low prices in order to capture new markets, otherwise exporters from other countries would occupy these markets.
