India's Mango Export Season 2026: What Importers Need to Know

The King of Fruits Returns

As the 2026 season approaches, global demand for Indian mangoes—particularly the Alphonso and Kesar varieties—is expected to break previous records. For international importers, preparation is key to securing premium quality produce.

Certification and Compliance

Import regulations in markets like the EU, USA, and Japan have become increasingly stringent. Importers must partner with exporters who hold valid **APEDA** and **FSSAI** certifications.

  • **Vapor Heat Treatment (VHT):** Mandatory for several countries to eliminate fruit flies without chemicals.
  • **Hot Water Treatment:** Often required for Middle Eastern markets.

Logistics and Cold Chain

Mangoes are highly perishable. The success of an export shipment relies entirely on an unbroken cold chain. From farm-level pre-cooling to temperature-controlled air freight, maintaining a consistent 10-12°C is non-negotiable.
