Untimely rains and strong gales appear to have hit mango exports, as evidenced by the fact that no rakes of the South Central Railway (SCR) have been booked to export the fruit to other States this year.
Andhra Pradesh is a major mango exporter. Farmers from Nuzvid, Agiripalli, A. Konduru, Chintalapudi, Eluru, Banjara, Reddygudem, Mylavaram, Kallur and other parts of Telangana export large consignments of mangoes through the South Central Railway (SCR) to other States and even abroad.
“Indian mangoes, particularly from Andhra Pradesh, were being exported to the United States, Germany, South Korea, Kuwait, Japan, and to countries in the Middle East and Europe,” said SCR officials.
