Seoul, June 10 (IANS) Mango, the national fruit of India, will soon be heading to South Korea as the regulatory approvals for its import into the country are through.
After completing the Korean regulatory procedure, import requirements for fresh mango fruits from India have been published and have taken effect from June 7, the Indian embassy here said in a statement on Friday.
India exported about 43,000 tonnes of mangoes to various countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Nepal, the US and European Union during 2014-15.
