Exports begin as Mumbai markets receive a good supply of Alphonso mangoes.
Mar 22, 2023

Regular supply of Alphonso mangoes from the Konkan region has hit the Mumbai market from this week with 10,000 to 12,000 crates arriving daily at Vashi's APMC wholesale yard. With this, export to various destinations has already kicked off. Supplies from Sindhudurg dominate the market now. Prices of a crate of Alphonso mangoes have dropped substantially and are hovering in the range of Rs 1,500 to Rs 4,000 in the APMC market. They are retailed at Rs 2,500 to Rs 6,000 for a crate. Market observers predicted that the supply volume will increase after March 25 and the prices are likely to go down thereafter.
 
Friday witnessed the supply of 12k crates of Alphonso mangoes from the Konkan region itself. Meanwhile, exports to the three major international markets for Indian Alphonso mangoes in the Gulf, Singapore and the United Kingdom have already begun. Around 30% of the total arrivals in the Mumbai market daily are being exported now. Traders said that the Konkan mangoes usually hit the Mumbai market in mid-March. And the quantity will go up 30k crates by the end of this month and later to 40k in April. A crate comprises 4 to 6 dozen mangoes. In fact, the supply this year is more than the corresponding period last year.
 
Out of the total 40, 000 crates of mangos of different varieties that arrive at APMC everyday, 30% are the Alphonso variety. If this was not enough, over 5,000 boxes of Alphonso mangoes from South Indian states like Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu arrived in the city, almost triple the supply when compared to last year. Last year at the same time, a total of 10,000 to 15,000 crates arrived in Mumbai. The robust supply has led to a dip in price.
 
Speaking to TOI, Sanjay Pansare, APMC director and mango trader said, 'The regular supply has started arriving at the market from early this week. We are expecting an adequate supply this season, unlike last year owing to Covid. The January flowering crop will be harvested in April and May.'
