Noorjahan Mango in Madhya Pradesh Gains Attention for Size, Scarcity, and Price
The Noorjahan mango, grown exclusively on three trees in Shivraj Singh Jadhav's orchard in Madhya Pradesh's Alirajpur district, is notable for its large size, weighing between 3 and 5 kilograms, often heavier than a papaya. Priced between Rs 1,500 and Rs 3,000 per fruit, its scarcity, unique taste, and local heritage contribute to its premium value. The variety was developed about 50 years ago by grafting Jahangir and Rajapuri mangoes and is believed to have Afghan origins, though this is not definitively documented.
