Malda mango export push gets five-month action plan

Malda is a district known for growing many mangoes.

A minister asked officials to help sell more of these mangoes to other countries.

Officials prepared a five-month plan for the next growing season.

The plan includes helping farmers, improving storage and transport, and making more mango products.

Malda grows about 3.80 lakh metric tonnes of mangoes each year.

Many growers and workers depend on mango farming and processing.

Three Malda varieties already have special GI tags.

Officials also want more varieties to receive these tags and hope larger exports will benefit local growers.
