India's Dussehri mango - known for its sweetness - is the first to have been exported to Dubai


The king of fruits just got an upgrade. Uttar Pradesh’s Dussehri variety of mangoes is the first to have been flown to Dubai for a whopping USD 2,992 for 1,200 kg.


Boosting farm exports in Uttar Pradesh, the mango variety – known to be juicy, sugar-sweet, and nutritious – was airlifted to the middle-eastern country in consignment of 400 boxes weighing 3 kg each, said an official statement. 


It was dispatched from Lucknow’s Mango Pack House to Dubai-based importer Vergro Trading LLC, signalling a new global opportunity for the state's mango growers, the statement said.


The consignment was flagged off by Dinesh Pratap Singh, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Horticulture, Agricultural Marketing, and Agricultural Foreign Trade.


Under the Indo-German AMD Project, three Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) from the Lucknow region were selected and trained for agricultural export – two of them securing direct export orders, a first for the state’s mango growers.


Irada Farmers Producer Company Limited and Malihabad Farmer Producer Company Limited are independently exporting mangoes, having secured direct export orders for the Dussehri variety.


"Under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, mango exports from Uttar Pradesh are steadily rising. Our goal is to help mango farmers from the state establish a strong presence in the global market. The government is extending all necessary support in terms of production, packaging, and meeting international export standards," said MoS, Singh.
