Despite a poor crop, the mango growers in the fruit belt of Uttar Pradesh have been expecting a good level of export. The state government has decided to launch the world famous Dussehri and other brands of mangos from UP with a new brand name of 'Kakori'.
From this season onwards, the mango from UP would be sold in domestic and overseas market with the 'Kakori' brand name.
Mango traders in UP have been getting orders from Middle East countries, Europe and US this year. According to them, for the last two years due to pandemic, there was almost nil export to Europe and US; however, this year the orders have been pouring in. The UP mango traders have been successful in getting orders from Thailand for the first time.
With the beginning of June, the picking of Dussehri in the mango belt of Kakori-Malihabad of UP has begun and consignments are being sent to Delhi & Mumbai.
