Importance of mango in India

New Delhi: Mango is considered the king of fruits in India, and when it comes in the market during summer, people’s mouths water. Most of the hundreds of varieties are affordable, but there is one special type, whose price shocks people. Japan’s Miyazaki mango, which is sweeter than sugar and has a bright red color, is so expensive that its price reaches lakhs. This mango is famous not only for its taste but also for its special cultivation and quality. Now it is being grown in India also, which is an exciting news for fruit lovers.

Cultivation and origin of Miyazaki mango

Miyazaki mango is grown in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. The farmers here carefully maintain the balance of temperature, sunlight, water and nutrition. Every fruit is kept covered with a net so that its color is uniform red and there is no damage if it falls. This is why every mango makes a perfect specimen. This caution makes it different from ordinary mangoes and increases its price at auctions.

Characteristics of Miyazaki Mango

This mango is dark red in color and egg shaped, which is called ‘egg of the sun’. Its taste is so sweet that even sugar seems bland, and it does not contain fibers, due to which it dissolves easily in the mouth. Japanese farmers grow each fruit with individual attention, making its quality unmatched globally. Its taste also has a touch of light pineapple and coconut.

miyazaki mango price

The price of Miyazaki mango can range from Rs 2.5 to Rs 3 lakh per kg. It is not sold in supermarkets or general markets, but in special auctions. Due to the gift culture in Japan, rich people prefer it as an expensive gift. There are strict criteria for selecting a good fruit – weight, size, sweetness and color must all be perfect. This is why its price is so high.

Miyazaki mango cultivation in India

Now it is being cultivated in India also. Farmers are growing it in Jabalpur of Madhya Pradesh, Purnia of Bihar and Varanasi of Uttar Pradesh. At some places, farmers also keep dogs and guards to protect the trees. Experiments are going on in the climate of India so that this expensive fruit can be available locally. Farmers are expected to get good income from this.

Online Specialty Stores

Fruit lovers are excited about the successful cultivation of Miyazaki mango in India. However, it will still be expensive, but more production may bring down prices somewhat. If you want to try it, look for it in high-end fruit markets or online specialty stores in big cities. This mango is not only delicious but also offers a luxury fruit experience.
