A rise of 43.76% in the mango exports in 2008-09 has been seen when compared to the year before.
"There was a drop in mango exports during 2007-08 due to quality deterioration on account of vagaries of weather, but in 2008-09 exports have picked up reflecting an increase of 43.76% in quantity terms," Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jyotiraditya Scindia said.
