Unseasonal rainfall accompanied by strong winds lashed several parts of Uttar Pradesh in the past 24 hours, affecting mango crops in a big way, especially in Lucknow's mango belt, Malihabad, known for its Dussehri variety. As it is, the price and quantum of exports of the 'king of fruits' this year have been affected by the lockdown, and now around 40% of the mango crop has been damaged in a single day. Ehtesham, the largest mango grower of Malihabad town in Lucknow, is upset that due to lockdown he could not sell produce from even one of his orchards this season.
