A bunch of people are pointing out the phytosanitary concerns. For mangos coming from India, they were made legal under Bush. But the problem is the Latin American market has a strong hold on the US mango market and does not want India or others to enter it. All the fibrous [low quality] Tommy Atkins mangos come from Latin America. USDA inspection requires the US side to place agents in the country of export to do the inspection. The US, while making it legal, never did place enough agents. My guess is this was done via lobbyists for the Latin American exporters. Also, I should point out that before covid I was able to find boxes of Alphonso mangos at some of the local Indian grocers, albeit very expensive ($70-$80).
