coffee_rules Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I had once purchased a dozen imported Indian mangoes fpr 25-30 bucks here in NJ. It's worth it. These mexican ones taste like feet.
hhunaeh Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 lame reason alla, its real reason. read about it here Mango export to US to touch 500 tonnes However, inadequate irradiation centres for treating insect pest mango seed weevils and fruit fly from the fruits, is limiting large shipments from the country, it said. The US prefers irradiation to get rid of an insect pest mango seed weevils and fruit fly from the fruits. At present, India has only one irradiation centre in Maharashtra with a processing capacity of 10-15 tonnes per day. Mango exports to the US resumed in 2007. The fruit is being exported to the US via air after the irradiation process, which is a modern food preservation technology that can reduce the risk of food poisoning, control food spoilage and extend shelf-life of food.
