This year LuLu is presenting more than 40 varieties of premium Indian mangoes sourced from various regions across India.
The festival features a wide range of popular and premium mango varieties including Alphonso, Kesar, Badami, Langra, Dasheri, Mallika, and many more, carefully sourced from leading mango-producing regions of India.
Speaking during the inauguration, the Ambassador of India said, “LuLu has been hosting this Mango Festival for many years, and today it has become one of the most popular seasonal celebrations across the Gulf region. India is the world’s largest producer of mangoes, offering an incredible diversity of varieties. Indian mangoes have become a cultural bridge connecting India with Qatar and the wider Gulf community.”
He further added, “This year’s festival is especially significant considering the global logistical challenges involved in transporting fresh produce. Despite these difficulties, LuLu has once again made exceptional efforts to bring the finest Indian mangoes to Qatar. I appreciate Dr. Althaf and the LuLu team for continuously supporting Indian exporters and strengthening the relationship between India and Qatar through initiatives like Mango Mania. "
