Indian Mango Prices Plunge Amidst Record Harvest and Early Picking
Mango prices in India are much lower this year.
This is because there are a lot of mangoes, especially in Uttar Pradesh.
Farmers picked mangoes early because they were worried about the monsoon rains.
This means mangoes are cheaper, but farmers aren't making as much money.
Also, the companies that make mango pulp haven't started buying mangoes yet, which is hurting the farmers.
Mango prices have significantly decreased across India.
Prices for Dasehri mangoes in Uttar Pradesh have fallen to Rs 40–45 per kg.
Uttar Pradesh's mango production is estimated at 35 lakh metric tonnes, up from 25 lakh last year.
Farmers harvested mangoes early due to monsoon predictions.
In southern India, pulp factories haven't started procurement, impacting prices.
