I run an agri commodity trading startup (mostly bananas) in India. A few mango exporters I know complain about US import rules for mangoes. Apparently by regulation mangoes have to be immersed in hot water for 20 minutes. This destroys taste.

I don't know the specifics but I'm not surprised. The Old World has a lot of pests the New World doesn't. Things which may harbor a pest we do not have get strict scrutiny or complete non-admittance here.

Irradiation is going to be approved soon as an alternative if I understand correctly

Irradiation is also an approved approach already as per a few online sources [1] I checked. I wasn't aware of this earlier.
