Farmers cultivating Banganapalli mangoes using protective cover techniques have received a significantly higher market price this season. The premium-quality mangoes fetched ₹1.75 lakh per tonne, marking a notable increase compared to previous years.
The improved rate reflects growing demand for carefully cultivated fruit and better-quality produce in the market.
Increase Over Previous Seasons
Compared to recent seasons, the current price is higher by more than ₹50,000 per tonne. Farmers attributed the increase to quality enhancement through specialized cultivation practices, including covering individual fruits during growth to protect them from pests and environmental damage.
This method helps maintain uniform size, color, and quality, which contributes to better pricing.
Cultivation Practices and Market Impact
The protective covering technique has been increasingly adopted by mango growers to improve yield quality and reduce crop loss. By ensuring cleaner and undamaged fruit, farmers are able to secure premium market rates.
The higher returns are expected to encourage more farmers to adopt improved cultivation methods in future seasons, particularly for export-quality produce.
