To export mango from India, settle four things first: the destination's import conditions, who the exporter of record is, how plant-health certification will be handled, and the quantity and arrival window. AlphonsoMango.in assesses export requests by enquiry; feasibility is confirmed after review.
Key takeaways
- The destination's import conditions decide most other steps, and the importer or customs broker confirms them in writing.
- APEDA registration, an FSSAI licence and GI authorisation each cover a different thing; none guarantees customs clearance.
- Plant-health certification is issued by the exporting country's plant-protection authority, not by the seller.
- An enquiry does not constitute acceptance of an export order or a guarantee of customs clearance.
What should you decide before you contact an exporter?
Most failed first enquiries are vague, not refused. Four decisions make a request easy to assess.
- Destination and importer. Name the country, the city and the importer or consignee. Every importing country, or trading bloc, sets its own conditions for fresh fruit, and they change over time.
- Product. Fresh fruit and processed products such as pulp follow different rules and are assessed separately.
- Quantity and pack format. State quantity with units (kg, cartons or dozens) and whether this is a trial consignment or a repeat programme.
- Arrival window. Give the date the fruit must arrive, then work backwards to harvest and shipment feasibility.

order Ratnagiri HapusWho is the exporter, and what do the registrations mean?
Someone must be the exporter of record: the business that sells to the overseas importer and carries the export paperwork. Ask any exporter for its registration numbers and verify them with the issuing body. The three identifiers buyers see most often cover different things.
| Identifier | What it shows | What it does not show |
|---|---|---|
| APEDA registration | The exporter is on the record of the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority. | It does not approve a particular shipment or fix a price. |
| FSSAI licence | A food business is licensed to operate in India. | It does not establish that a consignment meets another country's food rules. |
| GI authorisation | The seller is an authorised user of a protected origin name (for Alphonso, GI No. 139). | It relates to the origin name, not to plant-health or residue compliance. |
Powle Home Foods holds APEDA registration 225579 and FSSAI licence 10020022011783, and is a GI authorised user for Alphonso (AU/5974/GI/139/260, GI Registry Certificate No. 4163, issued 16 October 2019). (Source: records held by Powle Home Foods; check them on the APEDA, FSSAI and GI Registry sources.) None of them establishes that a shipment will clear customs.
How does plant-health certification work?
Many destinations require fresh fruit to be inspected and certified before shipping. The certificate, a phytosanitary certificate, is issued by the exporting country's national plant-protection authority and is separate from FSSAI and GI status. Which conditions apply depends on the destination, so the importer or customs broker confirms them. This page gives no treatment parameters and does not state any country's rules.
Where do residue limits and packing fit?
Residue limits are set by each destination, so a laboratory result is meaningful only when it is compared with the right standard. A report from Envirocare Labs (NABL accredited) dated 5 April 2025 on an Alphonso sample from an export consignment found all 28 residues tested within Codex limits. The report applies to that sample only; it is not a guarantee for other batches. Assessment against Codex limits does not by itself establish compliance with the destination market's limits. (Source: Envirocare Labs report, Powle Home Foods records.)
Export boxes also have to protect fruit over a long journey and meet the destination's labelling rules; see the note on export packing boxes. What a quotation depends on is covered in Alphonso mango export price.
How does the season affect an export plan?
Three things are separate. The general Alphonso season in India runs February to June, with the peak from March to May. The store's announced 2027 opening is 1 February 2027; as of 12 October 2026 fresh Alphonso is out of season and advance booking is not open. Whether a particular export shipment is feasible is confirmed only on enquiry, and the 1 February 2027 opening is not a confirmed harvest, dispatch or delivery date for an export.
What should an export enquiry include?
| Information to include | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Destination country and city | Establishes which import framework the importer or customs broker must check. |
| Fresh Alphonso or a processed product such as pulp | Fresh fruit and processed products are assessed separately. |
| Quantity with units | Defines the size of the request. |
| Pack format and preferred grade | Affects cost and handling; grade specifications are supplied with a quotation. |
| Required arrival window | Lets the request be checked against harvest availability. |
| Importer or consignee name and entry point | Identifies who is responsible for import clearance. |
| Requirements already obtained | Share any written conditions from the importer so they can be reviewed. |

Ordering for relatives in India
Families abroad can order for relatives in India; this is a normal India order, not an export. Orders received before 1:00 PM IST dispatch the same day, metro cities receive delivery within 24 hours of dispatch, and elsewhere takes 1 to 3 days. Send the PIN code on WhatsApp, because some PIN codes may not yet be serviceable for fresh mangoes. Damage is reported within 24 hours of delivery with photos or video on WhatsApp; resolution is a fresh replacement or store credit, with no physical return (see the return policy). More options are on the gifting page.
Brix range and quality testing
Brix range. Ripe Alphonso is typically in the Brix 18 to 24 range, with Devgad fruit typically at the upper end (range stated by Powle Home Foods; Brix varies by lot, fruit and ripeness, so ask for the figure on the lot you are considering).
Testing. Powle Home Foods schedules weekly carbide and pesticide-residue testing from the 2027 season. The one third-party report published so far is from Envirocare Labs (NABL accredited), dated 5 April 2025, on an Alphonso sample from an export consignment: all 28 residues tested were within Codex limits. That report applies to that sample only; it is not a guarantee for other batches. Assessment against Codex limits does not by itself establish compliance with the destination market's limits. Ask on WhatsApp which test records exist for the lot you are considering.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to export mango from India?
No export price is published here. A quotation depends on the product and grade, quantity, packing, destination, freight and the season. Send the enquiry details and a quotation follows after review. Fresh Alphonso for delivery within India was listed from ₹1,849 per dozen on 12 October 2026.
When can mangoes be exported from India?
The general Alphonso season runs February to June, with the peak from March to May. The store's announced 2027 opening is 1 February 2027; advance booking is not open as of 12 October 2026. Export feasibility is confirmed only on enquiry.
How long does a mango export take?
No export lead time is promised. It depends on the destination's requirements, plant-health certification, packing, freight route and the harvest. Timing is confirmed after review of your enquiry. Orders within India dispatch before 1:00 PM IST the same day; check the shipping policy.
Related questions buyers ask
Do I need APEDA registration to export mangoes?
APEDA registration puts an exporter on the authority's record, and buyers commonly ask for it. Whether it is required for your case, and what else applies, should be confirmed with APEDA directly. It does not approve a shipment or guarantee clearance.
Who issues the phytosanitary certificate for mangoes?
A phytosanitary certificate is issued by the exporting country's national plant-protection authority, not by the seller. The importer or customs broker confirms which conditions the destination attaches to fresh fruit.
Is a GI tag the same as export approval?
No. A GI relates to the protected origin name of the fruit, for Alphonso GI No. 139. It does not establish plant-health, residue or customs compliance for a destination market.
Can I export mango pulp instead of fresh fruit?
Pulp is a processed product and is assessed separately from fresh fruit, with different rules. Mention it in your enquiry. Check the pulp product page for current pack availability and price.
Can an individual export mangoes as a gift abroad?
Gifts to relatives in India are ordinary India deliveries. Sending fruit abroad is an export and depends on the destination's import conditions. Ask on WhatsApp and feasibility is confirmed after review.
