Valsad’s Iconic Alphonso Mangoes Poised To Receive Geographical Indication Tag.
Jul 07, 2023
Valsad, in south Gujarat, is the mango capital of India, and its famed Alphonso mangoes, also called Valsadi Hapus, are on the brink of receiving the coveted Geographical Indication (GI) label, which is great news for mango fans and farmers.
This recognition will make Valsadi Hapus the second mango variety in Gujarat to receive the GI tag, following the famous Kesar mangoes cultivated in the foothills of Girnar mountains in Junagadh district. Nationally, Valsadi Hapus will be the third mango variety in India to receive GI registration, joining the ranks of ‘Gir Kesar’ and Dussheri mangoes.
The lush mango orchards surrounding Valsad district are well-known for their delectable Alphonso mangoes, which exude a captivating aroma and unmatched flavor. The Geographical Indications Registry of the Central government, based in Chennai, will bestow the GI tag upon Valsadi Hapus, thereby conferring a distinct identity to these mangoes in both the domestic and international markets.
DK Sharma, an official at the Navsari Agriculture University (NAU) in Pariya, Valsad, shared that the process for obtaining the GI registration of Valsadi Hapus is currently underway and is expected to be finalized within the next three months. The NAU’s Pariya campus has diligently addressed approximately 28 objections raised at the Chennai-based GI registry, demonstrating their commitment to securing this prestigious recognition from the Central Government.
In 2023, the southern region of Gujarat has emerged as the leading cultivator of mangoes among the state’s seven districts, surpassing Central and North Gujarat, Saurashtra, and Kutch. The mango cultivation area in South Gujarat spans approximately 98,672 hectares, with an impressive production volume of 5.73 lakh metric tonnes.
The GI tag serves as a testament to the unique characteristics and qualities of Valsadi Hapus mangoes, attributing their exceptional taste and aroma to the region’s specific environmental and geographical conditions. This recognition will not only enhance the mangoes’ market value but also protect them from imitations and counterfeits.
The GI-tagged Valsadi Hapus mangoes will offer consumers the assurance of authenticity and quality, boosting their demand in domestic and international markets. The recognition will also provide a significant boost to the local economy and contribute to the preservation of traditional agricultural practices in Valsad.
'The impending GI tag for Valsadi Hapus mangoes is a moment of pride for the farmers, traders, and mango enthusiasts who have long recognized the exceptional nature of these fruits. It is a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of Valsad and reaffirms the region’s status as a prime producer of superior mango varieties' said an Alphonso farmer in Vapi.
