Quality and Grading
Table mangoes are graded by weight, colour, absence of spongy tissue (a problem in Alphonso) and freedom from fruit-fly and sap burn. Alphonso is sold by the dozen in wooden boxes and cartons; most other varieties by weight. Pulp makers buy by the tonne and grade pulp by Brix and colour. Ripening with calcium carbide is banned; ethylene ripening chambers are approved.
Price Drivers
Unseasonal rain, hail and heat at flowering and fruit set decide each year's crop. Alphonso prices are highest in early season (March) and fall as volumes rise in May. Export demand from the Gulf and the USA, and pulp demand from beverage makers, support farm prices for Totapuri and Alphonso.
Mango by State
Tap a state for its districts, markets, government buying and buyers.
