South Korea opens its market for Indian mango

Australia relaxes norms, overall mango exports from Indian may rise this year

Mango exports from India might see a significant boost this year, with South Korea allowing import of the fruit after conducting the stringent pest risk analysis (PRA).

South Korea imported mangoes worth $48 million in 2016 mainly from Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Pakistan, Australia, Peru and the United States.

India’s entry into the South Korean market would boost competition, as mango originating from India has been popular in the Middle East, the Far East, the United States and Europe.
