This time, UP is going to export 40 tonnes of mangoes to Japan and Malaysia.

These mangoes have already reached the US, where the Dussehri mango, priced at INR 60 to 100 per kilogram in India, has reached INR 900 per kilogram in the US market.

UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath himself shared this information on Friday at the Mango Festival in Lucknow. At the inauguration of the festival, he said that even if the maximum cost is assumed to be INR 300 per kilogram, the farmer is making a profit of INR 600 per kilogram.

Around 2660 samples of approximately 800 varieties of mangoes were displayed at the festival. The Chief Minister awarded 15 farmers, exporters, and entrepreneurs for their outstanding work.
