In a landmark achievement for agricultural exports, Jharkhand has successfully sent its first commercial consignment of fresh mangoes to the United Kingdom. The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) facilitated the export of 1.5 metric tonnes of Amrapali mangoes sourced from Beura Farmer Producer Company Ltd., an all-women Farmer Producer Company located in Simdega district. The mangoes were shipped by M/s JGB Agrofresh Pvt Ltd. from Kolkata to London. This milestone follows an Export-Oriented Capacity Building Programme organized by APEDA, which aimed to educate local farmers on export standards and market opportunities. The program, conducted on May 5, 2026, helped connect local farmers with exporters, enabling them to achieve better prices for their produce compared to domestic markets. This initiative is expected to enhance the quality of production and compliance with international standards among local farmer groups. With this export, Jharkhand joins other states in exporting fresh fruits internationally, showcasing the potential of its favorable agro-climatic conditions for horticulture cultivation.
