Malda launches plan to boost mango exports

Malda district has started a five-month action plan to increase exports of its 380,000-ton mango harvest. The plan includes grower support, expansion of horticultural areas, value addition, cold-chain facilities and market linkages.

The district horticulture department works with several organizations on mango cultivation, quality and overseas market access. The action plan focuses on cold-chain facilities and value addition to address barriers to export growth.
