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. :( Perry
