The mango export season is expected to start from April, once the phytosanitary inspectors of export destinations arrive in India. AdvertisingOn an average, 1,000 kg of hapus mangoes from Karnataka are arriving in the market, said Rohan Ursal, a trader. “Karnataka mangoes are retailing at Rs 120-180 per kg while the price of mangoes from Ratnagiri is around Rs 200-250 per kg,” said Ursal.
