Miyazaki- The World’s Costliest Mango

The Miyazaki mango, usually found in Japan, is known as the world’s costliest mango. The rare mango is now found in India in West Bengal's Birbhum district. It is priced at an exorbitant rate of Rs 3 lakh per kilogram. Mostly commonly found in Japan, this mango variety is predominantly grown during the peak harvest season - from April to August. The Miyazaki mango undergoes a mesmerizing transformation as it ripens. Initially, its colour is purple. However, once it reaches its peak ripeness, it turns into a flaming red. A single Miyazaki mango weighs approximately 350 grams.
