The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, facilitated the commercial export of 2 metric tonnes (MT) of Amrapali mangoes from Gumla and Deoghar in Jharkhand to Dubai on July 3, 2026.
This consignment, exported by M/s Fair Exports (India) Pvt. Ltd., represents a step in promoting exports from tribal and women-led farmer collectives.
The mangoes were sourced from three women-led Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs), contributing to economic gains for local farmers who achieved nearly 180% higher returns compared to local market prices.
