mango export volume, 791 tons nearly trebled in 2020-21 financial year from that 279 tons in the previous fiscal.This growth reflects one thing for sure that the country’s regulators, mango producers and exporters must have taken some steps in right direction, which resulted the significant increase. But if one put the $1.5 billion global mango trade into perspective, Bangladesh’s export growth is still very insignificant when the country holds enormous potential as 7th biggest producer of the juicy edible stone fruit. For many years, Bangladesh’s potential, however, remained largely untapped as the regulators wasn’t mindful of implementing good agricultural practices (GAP), a prerequisite for exporting mango to foreign markets.Bangladesh’s South Asian and Southeast Asian neighbours such as India, Pakistan and Thailand have well captured many key export markets and mango have long been fetching hefty export earnings for these economies. Bangladesh’s export earning from mango in last financial year was only $50,000 whereas, the figure is as high as $101 million for Pakistan (world’s 5th biggest mango producer) and $137 million for India (ranked first in mango production in the world).

What are the impediments? Bangladesh Fruits, Vegetables & Allied Product Exporter’s Association President SM Jahangir Hossain was joined by some of his fellow exporter colleagues, explaining what are the key roadblocks in increasing the volume of mango export. They said, Dhaka airport’s cargo village is in a mess where perishable products like mango and vegetables are not treated well. In air cargos, readymade garments get the priority while perishable product exporters have to count loss owing to incidents of consignment offloading. They said in some countries i.e., India, it’s mandatory for air cargoes to keep at least a fourth of the space available for perishable export goods but in Bangladesh mango and other perishable items get little priority. SM Jahangir Hossain said, with proper policy supports and facilities at airport and cargoes they will be able to export 5,000 tons of mango next year. Though official figure shows Bangladesh exported nearly 800 tons of mango in 2020-21, he said it’s so far 1,240 tons till day and is expected to hit 2,000-ton mark in current mango season.
