Dussehri mangoes taste sour in Uttar Pradesh

Farmers of Malihabad in UP are worried as mango production hits a record low due to bad weather and pest attacks. Malihabad, which is globally acclaimed for producing the exotic varieties of Dussehri, is expected to produce merely 10,000 MT-compared to 29,000 MT last year. Now with low production, the clouds of uncertain future surrounded the farmers of Malihabad, where 85 per cent of the population is mango growers.
