Ratnagiri (Maharashtra), May 03 (ANI): The season of famous and delicious variety of mangoes, Alphonso, has come to an end early this year in Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri. Renowned for its exquisite taste and hefty price tag, this year's harvest bids farewell earlier than anticipated. The mango season commenced as early as February and is slated to conclude by May 15. Despite the early start, prices have remained steep, with a box of Alphonso mangoes fetching Rs 25,000 in February and currently priced at Rs 2,000 per box. Despite India's dominance in Alphonso mango exports, challenges persist, including limited geographical availability and a short harvesting window. As the season draws to a close, aficionados bid adieu to this ephemeral delicacy, eagerly awaiting its return next year.
