Mango is highly perishable; in-belt processing is the structural answer. A small IQF + aseptic pulp line can serve the Bangalore ice-cream cluster, Chennai exporters, and direct Gulf private-label contracts. Seasonality means ~5–6 months of mango operations; balance period requires a complementary fruit (guava, papaya).
