The Horticulture Crops Directorate (HCD) has stepped up inspection of mango export consignments after it emerged that some rogue traders were sneaking avocado fruits hidden in such packages to evade a ban on the popular fruit.
The regulator said that mango exporters are now required to provide details of the location of their pack house to enable investigation of the packing facilities to ensure they are not being used to pack avocados.
