Indian mangoes are all set to tickle the taste buds of Americans with the Bush administration clearing the way for exports to the US this harvest season, which would give farmers here access to the global market.
The administration is working through the office of the US trade representative, the US Department of Commerce and the US Department of Agriculture to facilitate import of mangoes from India.
The US-India Business Council, which wants to host the first-ever Indian Mango-Tasting festival at the body's 32nd anniversary 'Global India' summit in Washington, also met US trade representative Susan Schwab in this connection.
Council President Ron Summers told news agencies that the possibility of mango export to the US assumes commercial as well as symbolic significance, as access to the global marketplace will benefit Indian farmers and consumers, together with their American counterparts.
The US-India Business Council will continue to advocate deeper trade between the two countries. We want to open new and exciting vistas for the people of both countries, he said in a press statement.
