SHRI S.K. KHARVENTHAN : Sir, India is the world’s biggest mango producer accounting for nearly half of the global production. A large quantity of export variety of mangoes are produced in Natham which forms part of my constituency. But the agriculturists are facing so many problems for storage of mangoes and are not getting fair price. I want to know whether the Government of India will set up a cold storage at Natham in Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu for helping the mango growers.
SHRI JAIRAM RAMESH : Sir, we have had a breakthrough in mango exports this year. Japan, which had banned the import of mangoes from India for almost 20 years, has now allowed six specific varieties of mangoes to be imported from India – Alphonso, Banganpalli, Chousa, Kesar, Langda and Mallika. These six mango varieties can now go to Japan. We are  now negotiating with America, Australia and New Zealand for expanding mango exports.
