E05 How are heatwaves affecting mangoes? | The Green Kitchen

Mango is one of the most popular of all tropical fruits. But, Where do mangos come from? Mangos were first grown in India over 5,000 years ago. And today we have thousands of variety of mangoes spread across the length and breath of this country. As the Mango season is underway, we talk to Jai Prakash, Principal Scientist, Division of Fruit and Horticultural Technology at ICAR-IARI and Hemant Kumar Mahure, Dev Bhoomi Enterprise, Pusa Produce Sale Centre, IARI Pusa Campus, New Delhi
to understand how the growing heatwaves might cause a concern to our national fruit.
