European Union(EU)Votes to lift ban on Indian Mangoes Tuesday Jan 20,2015

 

A ban on Indian mango imports into the European Union is to be lifted, clearing the way for them to return to the UK and other member states

A European Commission committee voted to lift the ban on Tuesday Jan 20,2015
There had been "significant improvements" in India's mango export system, the European Commission said after the unanimous vote

Note

The Indian mango season is from April to around June

The EU decision has come as a big relief in Ratnagiri district about 325km south of MumbaiMaharashtra close to the border with Goa.
It's surrounded by lush green mango farms and famous for Alphonso mangoes, also known as the 'king of fruits'.
Even though India sells only a fraction of its mangoes abroad, Europe is a significant market for the industry.

M Rafeeque Ahmed, president of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations, said the ban had affected India's exports of fresh fruit. Exports fell from $307.4m between April and November in 2013, to $291.4m in the same period last year.
