This page explains how Alphonso export from India works: which grade is export quality, what each country requires, how a shipment is prepared and what an importer needs to send us. To get a price for your market, use our export enquiry page.
What does export-quality Alphonso mean?
Export-quality Alphonso is fruit graded for size and skin finish, packed so it survives air freight, and documented for the importing country. We supply two export grades:
- A1 Super: 250 to 300 g and above per fruit, defect-free skin.
- A Grade: 200 to 250 g per fruit.
Each fruit sits in a foam net inside a 5-ply ventilated export carton with traceability labels. Read our Alphonso mango grading standards and the guide to what export quality means and how to check it.

How is an export shipment prepared?

- Hot-water fungicidal dip to reduce anthracnose and stem-end rot in transit, using a treatment chosen to meet the importing country's limits.
- Packing in foam nets and 5-ply ventilated cartons at an APEDA-registered packhouse. See mango processing and packaging.
- Quarantine treatment where the destination requires it, with AGMARK inspection and a phytosanitary certificate.

Frequently asked questions
Can I courier mangoes from India to the USA or UK as a parcel?
Not as an ordinary parcel. Fresh mangoes entering the USA must be irradiated at an approved facility with pre-clearance, and the UK requires hot water treatment and a phytosanitary certificate. That is why fresh Alphonso goes abroad as a commercial shipment to an importer, not by courier. Family abroad can instead send Alphonso mangoes to relatives in India.
When is the Alphonso export season?
Fresh Alphonso is exported from March to early June. Export bookings for the 2027 season open in January 2027, and weekly volumes are allocated in the order confirmed bookings arrive. Mango pulp is available all year.
What decides the export price of Alphonso?
The grade, the week of the season, the treatment your country requires, carton count and freight terms. Prices move through the season, so we quote weekly on an FOB Mumbai basis. Send your market and volume to get a current quote.
Is Ratnagiri or Devgad Alphonso better for export?
Both are GI-tagged Alphonso from the Konkan coast and both export well. Devgad fruit is often chosen for its thinner skin and deep colour, Ratnagiri for steady volumes. We can supply either or a mix. See Ratnagiri vs Devgad compared.
