In a notable advancement for agricultural exports, Jharkhand has successfully sent its first commercial shipment of Amrapali mangoes to the United Kingdom. This milestone was marked by a flag-off ceremony held in Kolkata on June 4, organized by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The consignment consists of 1.5 metric tonnes of mangoes sourced from the Beura Farmer Producer Company Ltd., an all-women organization based in Bano Block, Simdega district. The export was facilitated by M/s JGB Agrofresh Pvt Ltd., Kolkata. APEDA's involvement included a capacity-building program aimed at educating local farmers about export standards and market opportunities. This initiative has not only provided market access for the farmers but also ensured they receive better prices for their produce compared to local markets. The successful export is expected to promote quality production practices and compliance with international standards among farmer groups in Jharkhand, which has favorable conditions for horticulture cultivation. This development positions Jharkhand as a new player in the international fresh fruit market.
