For the first time in 18 years, Indian mangoes will be available in US supermarkets. Even as Americans ready to sink their teeth into this delicious fruit - the first shipment of mangoes is set to leave India for the US in a few days - Indian businesses are smacking their lips at the prospect of the enormous opportunities that lie ahead.
India produces about 13 million tons of mangoes every year, over half the world's total mango supply. However, barely 1% of its produce is exported.
