Kolkata - Around 10 metric tonnes of Amrapali mangoes from Dhenkanal were exported to European markets, including UK and Italy, last week. With over 100 women mango farmers trained on export standards, the development is poised to transform local livelihood options through global trade, official sources said.

“Five metric tonnes of Amrapali mangoes were shipped from Dhenkanal to England in the last three days. Odisha’s fruits and vegetables exports are gaining global momentum. New destinations — Rome, Venice, Birmingham — and products such as jackfruit, drumstick, wood apple and ice apple are growing the export basket,” said Arabinda Padhee . . .
