{"content":"In a major blow to India’s agricultural exports, at least 15 mango shipments were rejected by US authorities at key entry points including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Atlanta due to documentation irregularities. Exporters faced the costly choice of either re-exporting the mangoes or destroying them—ultimately opting for disposal within the US due to the fruit’s perishable nature and high return costs. The losses are estimated at $500,000, a significant setback during peak mango season. The US remains India's largest market for mango exports, making this disruption particularly damaging. The rejected mangoes had undergone mandatory irradiation at a USDA-approved facility in Navi Mumbai on May 8 and 9, meeting the phytosanitary requirements for pest control. Exporters have expressed concern over the bureaucratic issues that led to this loss, urging tighter coordination between authorities to prevent future occurrences and protect India’s reputation in international markets. #CryptoRegulation #BinanceAlphaPoints ","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025052025/05/18/b794638288b647d0a62e45739b8c3509.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
