India's mango exports are expected to rise by 40-50 per cent next fiscal following lifting of ban on import by the European Union, Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh said on Wednesday. "The lifting of ban by the European Union will boost mango exports. The country's overall exports are expected to increase by 40-50 per cent next fiscal," Singh told new agency.
The EU on Tuesday decided to lift a seven-month-long ban on the import of mangoes from India after the world's biggest producer made significant improvements in plant health controls and certification system, clearing the way for them to return to the 28-member bloc by March.
