Enso Dsc

Back in 1997, the Jamnagar refinery of the   Reliance industries was causing humongous amount of pollution during its operation. It started to receive threats and warnings from the Pollution Control Boards in order to shut down its operations in that area. The company had to take an action in order to solve this crisis.
So Reliance began to convert the Jamnagar’s waste and distorted lands into Mango orchards. Presently it is one of the largest mango orchards in the world producing more than 120 varieties of mangoes with more than 1.3 lakh plants of about 200 species. The Dhirubai Ambani Lakhibag Amarayee is stretched over 600 acres, transformed from  barren wastelands into a lush green landscape.
Hence, the Reliance Industries created a huge business opportunity out of the crisis situation it was in.

Countries that are classified as “developing” have permissions to export certain goods to the U.S. without being hit by heavy legal tariffs that are bind to be imposed on goods from “developed” countries.
