KOLKATA: Malda mangoes from West Bengal are now sharing shelf space along with the more well-known varieties of Alphonso or Kesar in London stores.
West Bengal produces some 2.5 lakh tonnes of mangoes a year and has been exporting some varieties like Ranipasand, Himsagar, Langra, Kishenbhog and Gulabkhas to Asian countries. But lack of infrastructure prevented Malda mangoes from entering stores in Europe.
