Udupi Gardener Cultivates Rare Miyazaki Mango Fetching ₹3 Lakhs/Kg

In the verdant outskirts of Udupi, a local gardener has been able to grow the elusive Miyazaki mango, a variety that can command up to ₹3 lakh per kilogram in premium markets.

The Miyazaki mango, originally from Japan, is prized for its thin skin, juicy flesh and fine fibers, and is rarely grown in India. The gardener's meticulous care—selecting seedlings, maintaining soil fertility, and employing drip irrigation—has allowed the fruit to reach the size and quality that fetch such high prices, offering a rare glimpse into high-value cultivation in the region.

This breakthrough demonstrates that small-scale farmers in Udupi can tap into lucrative niche markets, potentially boosting local incomes and showcasing the district’s agricultural diversity. Source: Google News – Udupi.
