Mango processors in Andhra Pradesh, particularly in Chittoor district, are facing significant challenges due to export disruptions caused by conflicts in West Asia. They have reported that 2.5 lakh tonnes of mango pulp, valued at around ₹1,000 crore (approximately $120 million USD), is currently stuck in warehouses, posing a risk of spoilage. The All India Food Processors Association has formally requested intervention from the central government through local MP PV Midhun Reddy. They are seeking financial assistance under the ₹10,000 crore SME Growth Fund to manage high inventory levels without immediate pressure on Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs). Additionally, they are advocating for inclusion in a credit guarantee scheme to secure 20% additional working capital and requesting a 3-6 month moratorium on term loans for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) affected by trade disruptions. The association also aims for recognition as a priority commodity under the Resilience & Logistics Intervention for Export Facilitation (RELIEF) scheme to ensure prompt reimbursement for increased freight and insurance costs.
