Amroha: First consignment of 1,200 kg of Dasheri mangoes was dispatched from a mango pack house in Amroha district to London, UK on Monday.
Amroha district magistrate Nidhi Gupta Vats flagged off the shipment.
Officials from plant protection and quarantine division of union ministry of agriculture were present at the site to inspect quality and issue necessary clearances.
After inspecting the mango pack house, Vats said that the facility is proving beneficial for both farmers and traders. "This is a positive step. Such initiatives ensure direct benefits for cultivators," she added.
Ishant Saini, a mango grower, said, "This time, businessmen from London have shown interest in establishing business ties with Amroha.
We dispatched the order, and central govt is covering transportation expenses. We have also received orders from the UAE, Japan, and other countries. Mangoes are being sent there as well."

European truckmakers stockpile to deal with Chinese rare-earths crunch
Gothenburg (Sweden): European truckmaker Volvo Group has been seeking alternative sources of rare earths and Daimler Trucks has been building inventories to deal with supply issues linked to Chinese export curbs, saying lessons had been learned from the chip crisis. The automotive industry currently fears that the supply of rare earths, which are needed for magnets, will be hurt by recent export regulations in China. Since April, exporters have had to apply for new licences, which are only slowly being approved. China dominates the market for the raw materials, which are used in various components from electric motors to window mechanisms in cars and trucks.

"With everything that's going on in the world right now, this seems to be a good and necessary strategy," Radstrom said. Live Events She said the situation is currently a major focus for Daimler, which it is closely monitoring. "So far, we seem to be getting what we need," she added, saying there have been no production outages so far. Volvo Group's CTO Lars Stenqvist also noted "a little bit of turmoil" around rare-earth supply, and said in the long term, there had been "a clear move" to be less dependent on the minerals. Stenqvist, who also said the group's output had not been affected, emphasised like Radstrom that there had been many lessons learned from the chip crisis. "We learnt during the semiconductor crisis a few years ago that we maybe have had a history of working too much with the tier 1 suppliers," he said. "We are never hesitating to go down in the value chain, down to tier 2, 3, 4, 5 if necessary." "During that (chip) crisis we learned how to navigate down to the mines, and that is what we also need to do when it comes to rare earth metals and minerals," Stenqvist added.

VietJet signs agreement with Airbus to purchase up to 150 aircraft
Airbus struck a deal on Tuesday to sell up to 150 single-aisle aircraft to Vietnamese budget airline VietJet, as the European planemaker continues to rack up business at the Paris Airshow. The companies said they had signed a memorandum of understanding for VietJet to buy 100 more A321neo planes, with the option to add up to a further 50 to the deal in future. The agreement confirmed an earlier Reuters story. A deal for 150 A321neos could be worth around $9.4 billion, according to estimated prices provided by Cirium Ascend. "These modern and efficient aircraft have been instrumental in VietJet's growth," VietJet Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao said in a statement released at a press conference attended by a delegation including several Western bankers. "This landmark agreement represents a vital step in VietJet's growth strategy as a multi-national aviation group." The planes will be delivered from 2030 onwards, and VietJet said it had financing in place for the deal. European planemaker Airbus has announced a flurry of deals at the Paris Airshow, the world's biggest aviation trade fair that opened on Monday. U.S. rival Boeing is expected to have a more subdued show as it focuses on the probe into last week's fatal crash of an Air India Boeing 787 and after it racked up huge deals during U.S. President Donald Trump's recent tour of the Middle East. VietJet, the largest private airline in Vietnam, operates an all-Airbus fleet, apart from two Chinese-made regional jets. The airline has not to date taken delivery of any of the around 200 MAX planes it has ordered from Boeing. Airbus is the main supplier of jets to Vietnam, accounting for 86% of the planes currently operated by Vietnamese airlines. However, the export-dependent Southeast Asian country is under pressure from Washington to buy more U.S. goods. VietJet's latest deal comes only weeks after it ordered 20 A330neo wide-body airliners from Airbus.

Oil prices jump, stocks drop as traders track Israel-Iran crisis
LONDON: Oil prices jumped and stocks mostly fell Tuesday after President Donald Trump abruptly departed G7 talks and concerns rose over a possible US intervention. Investors' optimism the previous day that the conflict would not spread throughout the Middle East gave way to fears of further escalation as the conflict entered its fifth day. "Middle East tensions are showing no signs of easing back, putting investors on high alert," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell. Trump said he was aiming for a "real end" to the conflict, not just a ceasefire after he departed the G7 summit in Canada. Trump may decide that "further action" is needed to stop Iran's nuclear programme, Vice President JD Vance said later Tuesday, responding to speculation that the United States could intervene in the conflict. Wall Street's main indices were all lower in late morning trading, with a larger-than-expected 0.9 percent drop in May US retail sales also dampening sentiment. Worries about tariffs hurting consumer spending and uncertainty over Iran "has buyers holding back their own firepower at the moment", said analyst Patrick O'Hare said. European equities ended the day lower, while Asia turned in a mixed performance: Hong Kong fell, while Shanghai was flat and Tokyo advanced. Despite mounting calls to de-escalate, neither side has backed off from the missile blitz that began Friday, when Israel targeted Iranian nuclear and military facilities. -
