Re: [Assam] mango alphonso

I think there is a powerful lobby that has restricted agricultural 
imports  from selected regions. Usually, the argument is potential 
ecological and agricultural damage from exotic invasive species tied to 
the import. Thus, mango imports are almost exclusively from South America.
Actually, there is a  news item in today's TOI saying things may change 
for the Indian mango:
