“Since sea freight is substantially more economical than air freight, exporters were able to offer higher procurement prices to farmers. As a result, mango growers realised an additional income of approximately Rs 15–20 per kg over conventional export channels, significantly enhancing farm profitability while maintaining the competitiveness of Indian mangoes in international markets.”
