Premature scorching heat and unseasonal rains coupled with thunderstorms in some states have caused considerable damage to the mango crop. Due to this, the yield of three major mangoes, Hapus, Dussehri, and Kesar, can be reduced by about half. Signs of this are beginning to appear in the early stages of the season. The arrivals are very less, so the price is about one and a half times from last year.
According to Agmarknet, a government portal that collects sales data from wholesale agriculture markets across the country, the average price of each variety of mango across the country so far this month is 42% higher than last year. The average price of a box (10 kg) of Ratnagiri mangoes in wholesale mandis is currently Rs 1,200-1,500 as against Rs 700-800 at this time last year.
According to wholesalers of Delhi, the arrival of mangoes is roughly 10 times less than last year. Due to this, the prices have increased. Hapus is selling very expensive. Abhay Acharya, director of Utkarsh Agriculture, Aurangabad, said, “Hapus prices are based on weight. The highest demand is for 275-325 grams of mango. Their prices are currently Rs 200 more per dozen on average.
Dussehri crop will fall 60% less
In Uttar Pradesh, famous for Dussehri mango, the mango crop has been affected in a big way due to the scorching heat. Insram Ali, President, of the Mango Growers Association of India, said that 60% less blossoms came this year. Due to the scorching heat ahead of time, small mango fruits dried up and fell on a large scale. In such a situation, the total production of mangoes like Dussehri may be less than half as compared to last year.
Supply of Hapus expected to decrease by 60%
According to the Hapus producing farmers of Konkan (Maharashtra), raw mangoes are falling due to excessive heat this year. Due to this, only 35-40 percent of fruits will be available in the market. Kewal Khanvilkar, a common trader of Sindhudurg district, said that on December 1-2, it had rained for 30 consecutive hours. After that, the strong wind continued for eight days.
Gujarat's saffron was ruined by bad weather
The Saffron mango crop in Gujarat has been badly affected due to storms and unseasonal rains. Farmers of Gir district say that hardly 15-20% production will be possible this year as only 50-60% of the trees have blossomed. Talala Mandi (APMC) secretary Harsukhbhai Jarsania said that this year the mango blossoms lasted for two months, but they did not turn into fruit. The fruits of the size of a gram dried up and fell off. In Uttar Pradesh too, the mango crop has been affected on a large scale due to scorching heat.
