Summary:

Jharkhand's first commercial shipment of fresh mangoes to the UK was made possible by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products shipment Development Authority (APEDA), signifying the state's entry into the global fresh fruit market. On June 4, 2026, a shipment of 1.5 metric tonnes of Amrapali mangoes was shipped from Kolkata to London by JGB Agrofresh Pvt. Ltd. from Beura Farmer Producer Company Ltd., an all-women FPC in the Simdega area. The shipment came after farmers received training on export requirements and market potential as part of an APEDA capacity-building initiative. Additionally, APEDA assisted in creating market connections between the exporter and the FPC. The program has raised farmer incomes, promoted high-quality production methods, and brought attention to the expanding contribution of women-led farmer collectives to agricultural exports.
