EU bans Indian Alphonso mangoes

[Solomon2]

Now that Pakistani Mangoes are banned in America -

Pakistani mangoes aren't banned in the U.S.; they have to be processed specially. All the technical and regulatory hurdles were worked out a few years ago and apparently a few were shipped here before Pakistani exporters decided it wasn't worthwhile to do so.

A word of advice: don't try to bring your own fruit into the U.S. In pre-9/11 days I saw people who did so surrounded by dogs and customs officers, forbidden to leave the area - or even move! - until the unhappy traveler had either consumed their fruit or thrown it away in the special trash bin nearby. After that it was up to Customs whether to apply criminal charges or not.

No I am a traveler by profession.

Israel and Turkey were two countries of my interest where I wanted to explore the two countries on a personal level. So last year I took time to explore them both to my heart's content.

Nice!! Way to go mate. One life, one planet. Explore all you can.

This seems to be a quality problem. At the moment those fruits don´t suit EU standards. Once they fullfill the standard they will be allowed again.

You got to try real mangoes And it's not about standards but keeping the business inside EU and saving jobs and etc.

More of a packaging problem. It seems a few flies and other pests were discovered along with the mangoes. Fair enough that they have temporarily banned the imports from India.

BTW, I think Germans are yet to taste the best mangoes. The ones in Wasgau and Netto are from Brazil while the ones in Asian stores seem to be substandard ones from the subcontinent. None have the smell and taste that's associated with good quality mangoes.

Of course i have eaten mangoes. I don´t like them much. The core is annoying to cut around.

As for the problem. don´t they use nitrogen on the fruits to kill pests?

 

[Aslan]

I might hurt a few Indian feelings but alphonso mangoes are bleh.

Try Pakistani mangoes and you will come to the DARK SIDE

I agree, double bleh.

One thing i know for sure is that it's not about pest and any chemicals . Its direct lobbying

Being an assistant for lobbyist for 6 months what i can really tell you is that these claims are meant to protect EU business and camp for the party with deeper pockets for MP's sitting in parliament.

Do you know EU has code which actually explains how big and how thick a banana should be sold in EU. All about pests , we all use it . Have you seen how the beard basket of EU (Poland) uses pest ? Think more EU is more about business than people like you and me

We don´t grow mangoes in EU, so its not about import business. There are industrial standards you need to fullfill and i´m sure as soon they are fullfilled the ban is lifted.
