In the year 2022, CSMIA played a pivotal role in enabling the export of 1,123 tonnes of mangoes. Advancing to the year 2023, this figure has witnessed an astonishing surge, reaching an impressive 4,700 tonnes.

Through specialised packaging and careful handling of trained airport personnel, mangoes are guaranteed to arrive at their destinations in impeccable condition.
CSMIA’s success in mango exports and the surge witnessed is guided by a dedicated group of farmers, visionary entrepreneurs, logistics collaborators, and the committed handling team of the perishable cargo terminal. Their collective efforts are transforming the western region into a bustling global mango exporting hub, benefitting the entire ecosystem.
Mango exports from CSMIA extend to a total of 69 countries, with top destinations being the UK, US, and Canada.
