Indian mango exporters have suffered a major setback after the United States rejected 15 shipments of mangoes, citing quality and compliance issues. The rejected consignments, which could not meet US import standards, have resulted in estimated losses of around $500,000 for Indian exporters. The affected mangoes were reportedly destroyed as per US regulations, compounding the financial blow to India's fruit export industry. This incident has raised concerns among exporters about the stringent inspection process and the need for improved quality control measures to prevent future rejections. The development is particularly significant as the US is a lucrative market for Indian mangoes, and such setbacks could impact the country's reputation and export prospects in the coming seasons3.
