Maldah: Only three rupees per kg of mangoes. At the beginning of the season, the price of Maldah mangoes fell to three rupees. Mangoes are being sold at Tk 3 per kg in mango orchards in the district. Mango traders go to that mango garden and buy bags full of them. Such is the picture now in the gardens of the district. More or less every district has the urge to buy mangoes in big orchards.
But this mango is not ripe. Because it is not the time for mangoes to ripen in Malda. According to sources from the Department of Horticulture, mangoes will ripen in Malda from the middle of next May. But now all the mangoes being sold are mainly for pickling. But the demand for this mango is huge. Not all mangoes are sold now. Currently, severe heat wave is going on across Maldah district. Due to this, many mangoes are falling in the garden.
Mangoes are drying up due to lack of water. The teenagers of the neighborhood are collecting fallen mangoes and storing them. He is collecting the mangoes left in the garden and cutting them and selling them. The mangoes lying in the garden have to be cut and sold. Not everyone is buying this mango. Several traders in the district sell these mangoes to other states. There is a ritual of this mango. Traders buy mangoes from orchards and store them together with salt. Then they are sent to pickle companies in other states.
Sushant Mondal said, we will send these mangoes abroad. We are buying these mangoes from the garden. So I am buying fallen mangoes for 3 taka per kg. They are mainly used for pickling. Malda mangoes are sold young. Only ripe mangoes do not go out. Small Maldah mangoes are appreciated outside. From now on, Malda’s mangoes are sent to foreign states. All types of unripe and ripe mangoes will be sent in the future. At present, the nearby residents are getting financial benefit by selling the mangoes harvested in the garden. But this profit does not belong to the plantation owners. Most of the villages around the garden are picking mangoes and selling them. Earning from 200 taka to 300 taka on an average per day.
