The government in the Indian state of Gujarat has revealed that proposals are in place to open an irradiation plant to facilitate mango exports to markets such as the US.
The new plant, which will be located in the south of the state, will take around 18 months to complete, a Gujarat Agro Industries Corporation official told local press.
'We are planning to set up an irradiation plant in South Gujarat to facilitate the export of mangoes from the state,' said state principal secretary for agriculture and cooperation PN Roy Choudhary at a seminar. 'At present, only Nashik in Maharashtra has the approved irradiation plant facility.'
