The glory of mangoes of Jharkhand! Export started in international market, first consignment left for United Kingdom

Amrapali Mango Export UK: The central government is continuously making many efforts to increase the income of farmers. Export of mangoes from Jharkhand state has been successfully started and the first consignment has been sent to United Kingdom. The Commerce Ministry has described it as a great example of making local products global. Amrapali mangoes grown by Mahila Farmer Company of Simdega are now about to reach the United Kingdom.

Due to the efforts of APEDA, farmers are getting better prices and women are getting new identity. Due to this, India’s agricultural exports are also getting a new and strong momentum. This special initiative will greatly encourage the farmer groups of the area to adopt quality production. Farmers will now be fully motivated to improve post-harvest management.

Departure of first commercial consignment

APEDA has successfully dispatched the first commercial consignment of fresh mangoes. This consignment was flagged off from Kolkata on 4 June 2026 and sent directly to the United Kingdom.
