Gulf Crisis Spoils 10% of India's Mango Shipment to UAE
India sent mangoes to the UAE by sea, but 10% got spoiled because of delays caused by the Gulf crisis.
Even though some mangoes were lost, the sea route is cheaper and helps farmers earn more money.
This was the first time mangoes were sent this way, and it shows that sea transport can be a good option for sending mangoes to other countries.
10% of India's mango shipment to UAE spoiled due to Gulf crisis delays.
90% of the 12.5-tonne shipment was in good condition after 25-day transit.
Sea freight is more economical, allowing higher procurement prices for farmers.
Farmers earned Rs 15–20 more per kg compared to air freight.
