Amrapali mangoes make it to Dubai’s markets

Mumbai : In a first, Amrapali mangoes from Jharkhand’s tribal belt have been exported to Dubai. The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has facilitated the export of two metric tonnes of premium Amrapali mangoes to the UAE. Officials flagged off the consignment on July 3, sourcing the fruit from three women-led farmer producer companies promoted by Palash – Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society. 

Tribal women farmers cultivated these orchards under the Birsa Harit Gram Yojana—a scheme implemented in convergence with MGNREGA and backed by the state government.
