<h1>India Gains USDA Approval to Export Mangoes to USA, Expects Record Demand; Pomegranate Exports Also Set to Begin.</h1> The Central Government of India has secured approval from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to export Indian mangoes to the USA for the upcoming season. This follows restrictions since 2020 due to the pandemic. The agreement, part of the India-USA Trade Policy Forum, involves a joint protocol on irradiation for mango exports. The export is expected to surpass 2019-20 figures, with significant demand in the USA. The approval will benefit traditional mango regions and introduce varieties from North and East India. Additionally, pomegranate exports from India and imports of cherries and Alfalfa hay from the USA will commence in April 2022.
