  • In truth, when it comes to eating mangoes, every afternoon could be a Sunday afternoon for us Indians, because mangoes are more ‘home’ than anything else around us and the taste immediately engenders a homely feel. It’s no wonder India is the largest exporter of mango pulp in the world. In 2021- 22 India exported 123,476 MT of mango pulp valued at Rs.924.54 crores, in 2020-21 exported 98,369 MT of mango pulp valued at Rs.714.40 crores and in 2019-20 India exported 85,725 MT of mango pulp valued at Rs.584.31 crores. Sharing this legacy of mangoes with our country over the past five decades is Tasa Foods, the largest producer of Mango Pulp and Concentrates in the country. Anything food, freshness & hygiene is the name of the game. Being one of the largest raw mango traders & fruit supply companies in both the commercial and local markets in India for over 50 years, Tasa has been able to build the largest farmer network across the country, which helps it ceaselessly maintain its reputation for freshness and hygiene intact, not to mention its state-of-the-art processing plants.
