Kempegowda International Airport (BLR Airport) has shipped 822 metric tonnes (MT) of mangoes in 2024, marking a phenomenal 20 per cent year-on-year growth.
Last year, 685 MT of mangoes were exported. This season’s success is further accentuated by the substantial increase in the number of mangoes shipped, totaling 27 lakh pieces. This milestone represents a 59 per cent rise in volume compared to the previous season, showcasing the increasing demand for Indian mangoes in overseas markets.
US emerges as key market
This season, mango exports to the United States have surged, with airports such as Washington Dulles (IAD), Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), and San Francisco (SFO) emerging as the top destinations for Indian mango shipments. With an extensive export network of over 60 international destinations, including prominent airports like Chicago (ORD), Seattle (SEA), Dubai (DXB), London (LHR), and Houston (IAH), BLR Airport continues to pave the way for Indian agricultural products to reach global markets seamlessly and efficiently.
“BLR Airport’s technologically advanced cold storage facility, WFS BLR Coolport, plays a crucial role in preserving the quality of the perishable produce throughout the supply chain. This has reaffirmed our position as a premier gateway that meets the growing demand for Indian mangoes, particularly to key international destinations.” Satyaki Raghunath, the Chief Operating Officer at Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL).
