It was mostly out of fear of agricultural pests being imported. They
are now allowing irradiated mangoes into the US from India, with the
radiation levels set high enough to kill pests. There was much fanfare
in the newspapers about the start of the trade, but I've yet to see an
Indian mango for sale. :(
