What Ratnagiri Hapus is
Hapus is the Marathi name for the Alphonso mango. The variety is named after Afonso de Albuquerque, and mango grafting was introduced in Portuguese Goa by Jesuit missionaries. Indian-group mangoes are monoembryonic, so named varieties such as Alphonso are propagated by grafting and not by seed. When people say Ratnagiri Hapus, they mean Alphonso grown in Ratnagiri district.
Alphonso fruits generally weigh 150 to 300 g, and the pulp is described as rich, creamy and non-fibrous. Harvest to ripening takes about 15 days. Because of this, a mango that arrives firm is meant to be ripened at home, which we explain under delivery below.
Where Ratnagiri Hapus grows
Konkan is a stretch of the western coast of India between the Arabian Sea and the Deccan Plateau. Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg are among its districts, and the district headquarters of Ratnagiri is Ratnagiri town. Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district. We source our fruit from 48 villages across the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast.

GI-tagged Alphonso and our credentials
Alphonso from the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt is GI-tagged in India (GI No. 139). We hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139), and we are an FSSAI-licensed seller. You can read the details on our Brand Facts page. The public record is in the GI Registry, which we link under sources.
The tag tells you where the fruit is from and who may use the name. It does not tell you how a particular box was ripened, which is why it is worth asking every seller that question.
Harvest and ripening
Our fruit is hand-harvested with a zela pole fitted with a catching net, at Brahma Muhurta, the early hours before sunrise. The tree is not shaken and the fruit is not allowed to fall, so it reaches the box with fewer bruises.
Selling fruit ripened with calcium carbide (acetylene) gas is prohibited under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011. We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds.
No home test, including the bucket or water test, proves how a mango was ripened. It is a rough clue at best, not proof. For a step-by-step look, read our guides on how to identify Alphonso mango and selection, storage and ripening.
How to choose a box
Think about how many people will eat the fruit and how soon. A dozen suits a family that eats mangoes through the week, and a larger box suits a gift or a get-together. If you plan to make aamras, or you cook for many people, ask whether the pulp tins suit you better. Our Alphonso mango pulp tins come in 850 g and 3.1 kg, from Rs 590, and are available all year.
If you want to compare costs before you buy, our guide to why Alphonso mango is costly explains what goes into the price, and the page on Alphonso mango price in India covers it in more detail.
Season and availability
Alphonso is harvested about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. Our 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Fresh Alphonso is not sold outside the season, so the product pages show as out of stock until then. If you see fresh Ratnagiri Hapus offered at another time of year, it is worth asking the seller about the harvest date.
Delivery and handling
We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Whether your address is one of them depends on the PIN code, not the city name, so we do not promise a fixed day. Enter your PIN code at checkout and you will see what applies.
- Open the box on the day it arrives and check the fruit.
- If anything arrives damaged, report it to us within 24 hours of delivery at support@alphonsomango.in or on 8369048029.
- If the mangoes are firm, keep them at room temperature, away from direct sun, until they smell sweet near the stalk and give slightly to gentle pressure.
- Refrigerate only once the fruit is ripe, because cold stops the ripening of unripe fruit.
We ship directly to the UAE. For other countries, shipments have been arranged through the customer's contact abroad, and that is not a standard service, so please write to us first. See our export page for the general process.
Nutrition
We do not have separate laboratory figures for Alphonso on this page. For raw mango in general, 100 g provides about 36 mg of vitamin C, roughly 40% of the Daily Value. Mango is a fruit with natural sugar, so if you manage blood sugar or follow a special diet, ask your doctor or dietitian about portions. Read more in our guide to Alphonso mango nutritional value.
Ways to enjoy it
- Eat it fresh: chill the ripe fruit lightly, then slice or scoop.
