The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (Apeda) has issued fresh guidelines for mango exporters in the current season to minimise rejection of the fruit’s consignment by the US on quality grounds.
Apeda has asked exporters to ensure that mangoes sent for irradiation are free from any kind of contamination or damage.
Apeda has developed Mangonet, an export software to enable exporters to locate and contact farmers engaged in mango cultivation. Mangonet will help in export of high quality mangoes to benefit growers.
Mangonet was developed on the lines of Grapenet.
