miyazaki mango
A farmer from Malkangiri district of Odisha has grown such a mango whose price is said to be like gold. Farmer Deba Madkami of Tamasa village has succeeded in growing the rare Miyazaki mango. This is the same mango which is counted among the most expensive mangoes in the world. Its price in the international market is said to be around Rs 3 lakh per kg. But the interesting thing is that even after growing such an expensive crop, the farmer does not know how to sell it?
Special mango came from Japan
Miyazaki mango is originally from Miyazaki province of Japan. There it is also called Taiyo no Tamago i.e. egg of the sun. This mango is famous for its deep red-violet color, extremely sweet taste and soft pulp. In Japan, this mango is considered a luxury fruit and sometimes it is auctioned for lakhs of rupees. People also buy it as an expensive gift.
The fruits came after four years of hard work
According to the report, a social worker had given this mango plant to Deba Madkami about four years ago. After many years of care in the harsh climate of Odisha, the tree has now started bearing fruits. Now his small garden has become a topic of discussion in the area and people from nearby villages are coming to see this special mango.
Farmers sleeping near trees due to fear of theft
As the discussion about expensive mangoes has increased, the concern of farmers has also increased. Deba Madkami says that these days he sleeps near a tree at night so that no one steals the mangoes. He says that these mangoes are very precious, hence they have to be constantly monitored.
The biggest challenge of selling
Although the price of Miyazaki mangoes is said to be in lakhs, Deba still does not know how to transport such expensive mangoes to the market. They do not know much about packaging, transport and buyers. Experts say that the high price of Miyazaki mango in Japan is due to its special cultivation technology, branding and export quality. In such a situation, it is not necessary that the mango grown in India should get the same price. Currently, Deba Madkami is busy protecting the mangoes growing on her tree and is hoping that this crop can change her life.
