Alphonso Mangoes arrive in Pune and Mumbai

The first mangoes of the season 2008 have arrived in Pune and Mumbai market.

This time mangoes have arrived in Pune before 26th January. The first crate of mango was sold at a mind boggling price of Rs. 8000.00 (approx 200USD) for 4 dozen and the other crate of 6 doz fetched a price of Rs.10,100.00 (approx 250 USD).

Considering that these are the wholesale prices for raw mangoes the ripened mangoes at retail level could see a price of about Rs.2,500.00 ($63.00)per dozen. These are early arrivals and prices will come down once regular season starts. This year winter has set in early thus flowering was intiated early. Also due to favourable weather conditions till now the season is expected to be good this year.
