For first time ever Indian mangoes set sail for the US
MUMBAI. For the first time ever, the Indian mango set sail last week for American shores. In all these years mangoes have never been transported by sea, they have been flown out.However, a consignment of 13 tonnes of the Kesar, Totapuri and Dalambiya varieties was loaded onto a ship last week and should reach New York in 19 days.
Packed in controlled atmosphere (CA) containers, the mangoes had been irradiated at Vashi in Navi Mumbai and at Lasalgaon in Nashik — a condition mandated by the USFDA. A box of 3.5 kilograms costs $15 if the mangoes are sent by air but the same pack costs just about $8 if sent by sea, senior officials at the Maharashtra State Agriculture Marketing Board (MSAMB) told FE.
