Japanese Miyazaki Mango Successfully Cultivated in Darjeeling and Ayodhya for First Time
The premium Japanese Miyazaki mango, known as the world's costliest variety and valued up to Rs 2.5-3 lakh per kilogram, has been successfully cultivated in India for the first time in Darjeeling and Ayodhya. In Darjeeling, four grafted saplings planted in 2023 yielded fruit despite the region's challenging climate. In Ayodhya, farmer Omprakash Singh grew the mango over two years, producing about a dozen fruits, with the first offered to Lord Ram at the Ram Mandir. Both efforts explore adapting this high-value mango to local conditions.
