US of Aam-erica has a new king: US emerges as India’s top export market for mangoes; Kesar tops Alphonso

Kesar mangoes, known for their hardiness and appeal to the Gujarati diaspora, have overtaken Alphonso as India's top mango export to the US, now India's largest mango market. Kesar's global exports have surged, driven by its longer shelf life and growing popularity, while Alphonso faces logistical challenges and competition from other varieties like Yemeni mangoes.
