HS Code:
Mangoes (HS Code: 080450) are a tropical fruit widely cultivated in regions with warm climates. They are a significant agricultural export for many developing countries, particularly in South Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Mangoes are traded both as fresh fruit and in processed forms such as pulp, juice, and dried mango. The global mango trade is influenced by seasonal production, climate conditions, and consumer demand for exotic fruits in developed markets. Key challenges include perishability, transportation logistics, and phytosanitary regulations.
