The Hindu
Only 200 kg. of different varieties of mangoes reach market on a day
Salem is synonymous with mangoes and though the mango season has begun, the market is yet to see huge arrival from farms. April-June is considered the major season for mangoes and produce from various parts of the Salem and neighbouring districts such as Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri are brought here for sales. According to traders, mangoes from Salem are sent to various parts of the country and also exported to countries such Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia. Though there is good price for the fruit at the moment, there isn’t sufficient quantity at the market.More Related News
