Demand for Indian mangoes soar as cargo fees rise | BBC News

Entrepreneurs in New Jersey are making it big importing mangoes from India.

Yakin Shah and Bharat Kumar Parasana import about $20,000-worth at a time and sell them to their neighbours through WhatsApp.

Bharat said he spent more than $1 million importing the fruit last year.

This year, however, he’s spending more due to the war in the Middle East pushing up flight prices.

Mango correspondent Samira Hussain finds that in one New Jersey grocery store, a mango that typically goes for roughly 70 cents in India will sell for $5.
