The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has facilitated the first commercial export of Rewa Sundarja Mangoes from Madhya Pradesh to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), marking an important milestone in promoting India's premium mango varieties in international markets.

About Rewa Sundarja Mango

  • The Rewa Sundarja Mango is a premium and highly valued mango variety cultivated primarily in the Rewa region of Madhya Pradesh. It is renowned for its exceptional sweetness, rich aroma, fibreless pulp, and distinctive flavour.

  • A unique characteristic of this variety is that it ripens only after the arrival of the first monsoon showers, making it one of the few mango varieties with such a distinctive ripening pattern.

  • Recognising its unique qualities and geographical identity, the Rewa Sundarja Mango was awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) Tag in 2023.

Features

  • The Rewa Sundarja Mango possesses vibrant yellow, fibreless flesh with a smooth and creamy texture, making it highly desirable for both fresh consumption and food processing.

  • Its distinct vanilla-like aroma enhances its flavour and makes it suitable for desserts, beverages, and various culinary preparations.

  • The fruit has a balanced sugar-acid ratio, which provides a unique combination of sweetness and mild acidity, contributing to its premium taste.

  • Its thick peel gives it an excellent shelf life and makes it well-suited for long-distance transportation and export.

  • Compared to many other mango varieties, it contains relatively lower sugar content, making it a preferred choice for health-conscious consumers and diabetic individuals, while still retaining its natural sweetness.

Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA)
