APEDA Facilitates Export of Jharkhand’s Amrapali Mangoes to Dubai

New Delhi, Jul 7 (KNN) The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has facilitated the commercial export of 2 metric tonnes (MT) of Amrapali mangoes from Gumla and Deoghar districts in Jharkhand to Dubai, marking another step in promoting exports from tribal and women-led farmer collectives.

The consignment, exported on July 3, 2026, was shipped by M/s Fair Exports (India) Pvt. Ltd. for retail distribution through Lulu stores in Dubai.

The mangoes were sourced from three women-led Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) promoted by the Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society (JSLPS). 

Of the total consignment, 1 MT came from MVM Baghima Palkot Producer Company Limited and Raidih Agri Producer Company Limited in Gumla district, while the remaining 1 MT was sourced from Mohanpur Ajeevika Mahila Kisan Producer Society in Deoghar district.

According to APEDA, the export enabled participating farmers to realise around 180 per cent higher returns compared to prevailing local market prices. The three FPCs together have over 50,000 member farmers and more than 1,500 shareholders each.

APEDA said it had organised capacity-building programmes in Jharkhand to help FPCs meet international quality standards, improve post-harvest handling and understand export procedures, supporting export readiness among women-led farmer collectives.
