Both carry the same GI number (139). The verified order data from 47,000+ customers shows north India leans Ratnagiri; Mumbai leans Devgad. If you're ordering for the first time, either works — the grading and packing process is identical.
Delivery to India
Fruit is dispatched at 70–80% ripeness, firm enough to handle 1–3 days of transit. It ripens fully within about three days of delivery on the kitchen counter, or on a hay bed if you have one. Do not refrigerate unripened fruit — it arrests the ripening and dulls the flavour.
Dispatch is by BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees depending on your pin code. Metro cities typically receive their order in 20–24 hours. The network covers 15,000–17,000 serviceable pin codes across India.
If fruit arrives transit-damaged or quality-failed, report it within 24 hours of delivery with photos or video on WhatsApp. No physical return is needed. We send a fresh replacement or credit your account for the next purchase. This applies only if you report within that 24-hour window — so open the box the day it arrives.
Fresh Alphonso is not available July to January. That is the honest limit of the season, and no workaround exists.
How to Order
- Select grade: Choose Ratnagiri or Devgad Alphonso by size — Small (150–180 g) from ₹1,849 per dozen, Medium (180–225 g), Extra Large (250–275 g) or Jumbo (275–300 g) at progressively higher prices — from the product page at alphonsomango.in/products/ratnagiri-alphonso-mango or alphonsomango.in/products/devgad-alphonso-mango.
- Add to cart: Pick your box size — half dozen, 1 dozen or 2 dozen — and complete checkout with your delivery pin code so the system assigns the right courier.
- Dispatch: Your order ships by BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees depending on pin code, reaching most Indian cities in 1–3 days from the Malvan or Devgad packing centre via the Mumbai packhouse.
How to Export Alphonso Mangoes from India?
Exporting Alphonso mangoes from India requires an APEDA-registered exporter, a valid phytosanitary certificate from the National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPO), compliance with the importing country's MRL (maximum residue limit) standards, and — for Japan and the US — Vapour Heat Treatment (VHT) certification. The fruit must carry a GI tag if it is sold as Alphonso from Ratnagiri or Devgad; the GI Registry of India (ipindia.gov.in) maintains the authorised user list under GI No. 139.
Powle Home Foods (APEDA 225579) handles B2B export shipments of GI-tagged Alphonso (Ratnagiri and Devgad) and Gir Kesar (Junagadh, Gujarat). Alphonso moves by air freight; Kesar typically moves by sea. Minimum volumes, incoterms (FOB Mumbai for Alphonso air; FOB Kandla for Kesar sea) and current rates are available on request — we do not publish fixed export prices because freight, season timing and crop volumes shift them weekly.
What certifications does export Alphonso carry?
Every export lot from Powle Home Foods carries: GI Authorised User status AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139, GI Registry Certificate No. 4163, issued 16 October 2019); APEDA registration 225579; FSSAI licence 10020022011783; and an independently issued pesticide residue test from Envirocare Labs Pvt. Ltd., Thane (NABL accredited, certificate TC-8284, report 01/ETHAP2500044, issued 5 April 2025 — all 28 residues within Codex maximum residue limits). Phytosanitary certification is applied per shipment through NPPO India. Verify APEDA registration at apeda.gov.in; verify FSSAI at foscos.fssai.gov.in.
What does "carbide-free" mean for export buyers?
Calcium carbide is banned for food use in India under FSSAI regulations, and importing countries including Japan, the EU and the US reject carbide-ripened fruit. Every mango dispatched by Powle Home Foods is ripened on hay beds (Aadi method) in temperature-controlled rooms — no ethylene chambers, no calcium carbide, no artificial ripening agents. The lab panel from Envirocare does not test for carbide specifically (it tests pesticide residues), but carbide use is ruled out by process: carbide-ripened fruit cannot pass the Brix and organoleptic checks our graders apply at the Mumbai packhouse.
Wholesale Alphonso Mango Supplier for Hotels and Retailers
HoReCa and corporate orders start from 5 dozen (roughly 15–20 kg). Typical corporate orders run 1–2 dozen boxes and above. We handle multi-destination dispatch within India — in May 2026 we completed a single corporate dispatch across multiple Indian cities for an event client. Box sizes are half dozen, 1 dozen and 2 dozen; grades run from Small (150–180 g) to Jumbo (275–300 g).
Hotel groups, private banks, wealth managers, pharmaceutical companies and real-estate developers are among the B2B buyers we supply. For large seasonal requirements, place enquiries before March — peak-season volumes fill quickly and Alphonso is a single-origin, single-season fruit. There is no off-season stock.
What is the wholesale price for Alphonso mango in India?
Retail price for 1 dozen Alphonso (150–180 g grade) starts at ₹1,849 on the website. Wholesale rates for 5 dozen and above are quoted directly — contact us through the website. Prices vary by grade, box size and season timing; early-season (February–March) and late-season (May–June) prices differ from peak-March rates.
Which Alphonso Farms Are APEDA Registered Exporters?
Powle Home Foods (AlphonsoMango.in, APEDA 225579) sources from 55 named villages across Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts and operates packing centres at Malvan and Devgad. The 100+ partner farmer families follow cultivation SOPs covering natural sprays and fertilisers from flowering to harvest. Orchards are typically 12–25 years old, sea-facing, selected by Prashant Powle on Brix consistency and alternate-bearing management.
APEDA (apeda.gov.in) maintains a public register of RCMC holders. Registration 225579 is verifiable there. The National Horticulture Board (nhb.gov.in) publishes district-level Alphonso production data if you need to cross-check regional volume claims.
Does APEDA registration alone guarantee GI compliance?
No. APEDA registration certifies an exporter's eligibility to export agricultural products under APEDA's mandate. GI compliance is separate — it requires authorised user status under the GI Registry of India. Powle Home Foods holds both: APEDA 225579 and GI Authorised User AU/5974/GI/139/260. Buyers sourcing "Alphonso" from exporters without GI authorised user status may be receiving non-GI fruit labelled as Alphonso — a common issue the GI Registry has flagged publicly.
Origin, GI Tag and What It Means for You
Alphonso (Hapus) holds GI Tag No. 139 covering Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts of Maharashtra. The Ratnagiri Alphonso won the Gold Medal at the national One District One Product (ODOP) Awards 2024 — a district-product award, not a brand award.
Gir Kesar holds GI Tag No. 185 covering Junagadh district, Gujarat — the Girnar foothills and Gir forest belt, specifically Talala. Every gram of Kesar sold on this site comes from Junagadh, never from Konkan. These are different fruits from different geographies, and conflating them is a common trade error.
The GI tag restricts who can legally call their fruit "Alphonso from Ratnagiri" or "Alphonso from Devgad." Buying from an authorised user (AU/5974/GI/139/260) means the chain of custody is documented from the named village to your door. Prashant Powle built this traceability specifically because the Mumbai wholesale market routinely blends origins — a problem The Economic Times documented in June 2026 when interviewing him on the 2025 Alphonso crisis (ET, June 2026).
Ripening, Grading and Packing
Every fruit is hand-harvested using a Nutan/Zela pole fitted with a catching net — the tree is never shaken, fruit never falls. For tall trees, an indigenously developed length-extending pole with a camera is used. From tree to the Ratnagiri or Devgad packhouse takes about 2 hours.
At the packhouse, every mango is weighed and graded. AI/ML-assisted machine scanning checks each fruit for internal deformities (including spongy tissue) and external blemishes before packing. Post-harvest hot-water treatment reduces surface issues and extends shelf life. Fruit then travels 10–12 hours by air-conditioned transport to the Mumbai packhouse, where it sits on hay for 24–48 hours — natural, monitored ripening, not gas-triggered.
Packing uses a top-and-bottom 5-ply corrugated fibreboard (CFB) box, 130 gsm paper, alternate flute orientation, with reinforced corners and a 12-slot partition that bears transit pressure instead of the fruit. Each mango goes into a foam-net sleeve (flat width 50–55 mm) that prevents skin friction — important because Alphonso lenticels blacken when rubbed — and keeps airflow to prevent condensation that can trigger anthracnose. Six air holes top and bottom complete the airflow circuit during ripening at your end.
Total harvest-to-dispatch time: 48–72 hours.
Season, Availability and Honest Limits
The season runs February to June, with peak supply in March and April. Outside this window — July through January — there is no fresh Alphonso from this site or anywhere in Konkan. We do not store or cold-blend off-season fruit. Pre-orders open before the season starts; pre-orders can be cancelled before dispatch, not after.
The 2025 season was difficult. Unseasonal weather across Konkan cut yields significantly — Prashant Powle described the situation to The Economic Times as an "existential crisis." Good seasons and difficult seasons are both part of buying fruit from a specific geography. We source from 55 villages precisely to spread that risk across microclimates.
Repeat-order rate from our 47,000+ customer base is 46%, with an average of 2.8 boxes per customer per season. 18% of orders are gifts. These numbers come from our own order records, not from a survey.

People Also Ask
Who is the largest exporter of mango in India?
APEDA does not publish a single ranked list of mango exporters by volume, so no verified "largest exporter" can be named here. India exports roughly 50,000–60,000 metric tonnes of fresh mangoes annually, with Alphonso from Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg and Kesar from Junagadh dominating premium air-freight shipments to the US, UK, UAE, Singapore and Japan.
APEDA registration 225579 identifies Powle Home Foods (AlphonsoMango.in) as a verified APEDA-registered exporter of GI-tagged Alphonso from Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg and Gir Kesar from Junagadh.
Can I export mangoes from India to the USA?
Yes, you can export mangoes from India to the USA, but the fruit must undergo USDA-approved Vapour Heat Treatment (VHT) before shipping. The exporter must hold APEDA registration, and each consignment needs a phytosanitary certificate from India's National Plant Protection Organisation. Alphonso exported as GI-tagged must also carry an authorised user credential under GI No. 139.
Powle Home Foods (APEDA 225579, GI Authorised User AU/5974/GI/139/260) handles B2B export shipments of Alphonso to the US; contact us for volumes, incoterms and seasonal rates.
How much is 1 kg of mango in India?
Retail mango prices in India range from around ₹40–₹80 per kg for common varieties to ₹300–₹800 per kg or more for GI-tagged Alphonso (Hapus) from Ratnagiri or Devgad, depending on grade, season timing and the seller. Export-quality, courier-packed Alphonso from verified APEDA exporters naturally commands a higher price because of grading, packaging and cold-chain logistics.
At AlphonsoMango.in, a dozen Ratnagiri or Devgad Alphonso starts from ₹1,849 during the February–June season, with prices varying by fruit grade (Small 150–180 g through Jumbo 275–300 g).
