Malaysia’s Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) is planning to export harumanis mangoes to countries in Europe in the next three to four years. Fama chairman Datuk Mohd Fasiah Mohd Fakeh said: “The potential of harumanis can be developed further as the demand in the country alone exceeds the total production and the exclusivity of the fruit itself."
"We need to move towards modernisation and look globally so that harumanis will be known and can be enjoyed everywhere in the world similar to other fruit such as apples.”
Mohd Fasiah said harumanis showed more potential compared with paddy and the rice industry, so in the future, farmers would be wise to switch to harumanis for export.
