Banganapalli mango exporter premium size grade A export fruits.
Shipping Information
Exporter details revealed after verified importer registration
Banganapalli mango (also called Safeda) is a fiberless, golden-yellow mango variety native to Banganapalle in Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool district, prized for its sweet, low-acid flesh and thin, easy-peel skin that make it a preferred variety for both direct consumption and premium retail display. It reaches export markets during its short April-to-June harvest window, hand-graded for size and skin finish before mandatory vapor heat or hot water treatment clears it for international shipment. Operating from Kolkata as an export coordination base, we source directly from Andhra Pradesh's Banganapalle growing belt and route Grade A stock through treatment-approved packhouses and air cargo to reach premium retail and wholesale buyers internationally while the fruit is still within its short shelf window.

Grade A sorting for Banganapalli mango screens out fruit with sap burn marks, uneven ripening, insect scarring, and size inconsistency, all of which show up immediately on a retail shelf even when the flesh quality underneath is fine. Size uniformity within a carton matters almost as much as individual fruit condition, since premium retail buyers price and display this variety by consistent piece count per kilo.
Standard-grade Banganapalli tolerates more cosmetic variation and mixed sizing, which is the right call for processing use (pulp, juice, pickling) or general wholesale where the buyer isn't presenting individual fruit for retail display. Buyers supplying premium supermarket produce sections or hospitality fruit programs should specify Grade A; buyers supplying processing lines generally don't need to pay the sorting premium.
Banganapalli mango's growing region sits in Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool district, well south of Kolkata, so what this base contributes is export coordination rather than proximity to the orchards. Kolkata's international air cargo terminal supports the tight harvest-to-shipment timeline this fruit needs, and running procurement, phytosanitary documentation, and treatment scheduling through a single coordination point keeps the process consistent across a short and weather-sensitive harvest window. Given how narrow the April-to-June season is, this centralized handling matters more than physical distance from the orchard.
5kg and 10kg corrugated export cartons with individual fruit dividers or cushioning to prevent transit bruising. Foam net sleeves for individual fruit protection on premium retail orders. Palletized loading for both air cargo and reefer sea container shipment, with cold chain temperature logging available on request.
Phytosanitary certificate from India's Plant Quarantine Department for every shipment, vapor heat or hot water treatment certificate as required by destination market, Certificate of Origin, pesticide residue test reports available per batch, APEDA registration.
Banganapalli mango is native to Banganapalle in Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool district, which remains the primary growing region for this variety. Export coordination, treatment scheduling, and documentation for our shipments are managed from Kolkata, with the fruit moving from the Andhra Pradesh orchards through treatment-approved packhouses before export.
Many destination countries, including the US, require vapor heat treatment (VHT) or hot water treatment to eliminate fruit fly larvae before fresh mango can be imported. This treatment is mandatory rather than optional for certain markets and is carried out at approved facilities before the fruit is cleared for export.
The harvest season runs from April to June, and export availability is limited to that window. Weather conditions can shift the exact timeline by one to two weeks in either direction, so buyers should confirm current-season dates before planning around this variety.
Air freight suits premium retail orders needing fast turnaround and maximum shelf life on arrival, typically 2-5 days transit. Reefer sea container shipment works for bulk wholesale orders where a longer 15-25 day transit is acceptable, at a lower per-unit freight cost. The choice depends on whether the buyer prioritizes shelf life or landed cost per kilo.
Fresh mangoes, including Banganapalli, are classified under HS code 0804.50.20. Destination markets often require this classification to be paired with treatment certification, so confirm both the code and the documentation requirements with your customs broker before the first shipment.
