India exports 45% of its Alphonso mango production

The Alphonso mango is a variety that does not occur in other parts of the world and can only be grown in India, thanks to its agronomic and climatic characteristics. According to Sandeep Bose, of Sai Agro Exports, "we have no competitor. This mango can't be compared with the Tommy Atkinson or Kent mango varieties." Thus, India has been able to export this exotic fruit to the UK, the Netherlands, Singapore, Dubai, Kuwait, Oman, and recently to Eastern Europe and China.

The market is very volatile, as this year there has been a good harvest in many parts of the south of the country. As a result there is no opening peak for the export market and there are fairly stable values. This leaves no possibility of benefit in terms of price fluctuations for exporters and farmers. "To be more specific, this year's prices are stabilized and the harvest started in January, which means it started before time,"

Every year, new exporters enter India's market and the demand for mangoes is growing in the international markets. Thus, this fruit has become the first choice for any exporter. As a result, "India's mango production is increasing by nearly 10% every year," Bose said.
