Hyderabad International Airport commences mango shipments to South Korea

The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), Hyderabad, has exported an initial commercial consignment of 2.5 tonnes of Indian mangoes for the first time to South Korea through its cargo terminal, which is operated by Hyderabad Menzies Air Cargo Pvt Ltd (HMACPL). With this, RGIA becomes the first airport in India to facilitate the export of mangoes to South Korea directly from a farm-based infrastructure.

GHIAL and HMACPL teams have worked with the farmer community at the Vizianagaram facility to develop a pack-house, create markets, commission this project with requisite approvals from the government and exporting the Suvarnarekha variety of mangoes to South Korea. Mangoes being a seasonal fruit in high demand, export volumes to South Korea are expected to grow to up to 10 tonnes per day for the rest of the season.

Commenting on the development, SGK Kishore, CEO, GHIAL said, “Hyderabad being India’s Pharma capital, Pharmaceuticals have had the lion’s share of exports out of RGIA over the years. We have been on a constant lookout to increase our perishables export base. The initiative of mango exports to South Korea will go a long way not only in expanding our perishable exports base but also in strengthening our global footprint. With the current demand and regular feedback from the traders, we are planning to come up with a dedicated perishables handling facility at the airport soon.”
