State wise data for exports is  not  published by  DGCI&S. The details of state-wise production  of  mangoes,  during  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  year,  are  at Annexure-I.

- (b) Mangoes  are  processed  by  the  registered packhouse  facilities having  ripening chambers, pre-cooling facilities and cold storage facilities for shipment to UAE and other West  Asian  countries. Mangoes  to  these destinations are  exported in refrigerated  containers  having  requisite  temperature  of  12 ° C.    As  per  industry's feedback,  there  is  no  shortage  of  availability  of  refrigerated  containers  for  sea shipment.  To the distant destinations like EU and USA, mangoes are exported by air, which  reaches  the  market in two  days. To  facilitate  exports  of  mangoes  by refrigerated  vans,  Agricultural  &  Processed  Food  Products  Export  Development Authority (APEDA), under the Infrastructure Development component of its export promotion  scheme,  provides  financial  assistance  for  purchase  of  insulated/reefer transport/mobile pre cooling units upto 40% of the cost subject to ceiling of Rs.100 lakhs.  Assistance  for  Reefer  transport  vehicles  is  also  available  under  Mission  for Integrated  Development  of  Horticulture  (MIDH),  a  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme implemented by Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare.
- (c) APEDA, an autonomous organisation under the administrative control of Department of Commerce, has been mandated with the export promotion of Mangoes. As such, no proposal for setting up a Mango Board is under consideration of the Government.
- (d) Yes, Madam. During 2018, APEDA has organized the following programmes in the importing countries:
- (e) Promotion of exports of agricultural products like mangoes is a continuous process. India  has  filed  Market  Access  Requests  for  mangoes  with  several  countries  viz. Argentina,  Chile, Ecuador,  Israel,  Malawi,  Peru,  Russia,  Serbia,  Uruguay  and Uzbekistan.  Under  the  newly  introduced  Agriculture  Export  Policy,  clusters  have been identified in the States  of  Maharashtra,  Gujarat,  Uttar  Pradesh, Telangana  and Andhra Pradesh for export-oriented production of mangoes. MEIS of 7% is available on the export of mangoes. APEDA also provides assistance to Mango exporters under various components of its export promotion scheme.
