If you're ordering for the first time and are based in Mumbai, Devgad is the traditional local favourite. For Delhi, Pune or Bengaluru, Ratnagiri is the more common choice among repeat buyers — 46% of our 47,000+ customers reorder, and that regional split is clear in their data.

Delivery Across India

Every box leaves our Mumbai packhouse at 70–80% ripeness — firm enough to survive transit, fully ripe within about three days of delivery. The supply chain runs like this: harvest in Ratnagiri or Devgad, roughly two hours by vehicle to the respective packhouse, post-harvest cooling, then 10–12 hours by air-conditioned transport to Mumbai. At the Mumbai packhouse, fruit rests on hay beds for 24–48 hours of natural ripening before dispatch. Total time from tree to dispatch: 48–72 hours.

Transit to metro cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata) takes 20–24 hours. Everywhere else in India: 1–3 days. We service 15,000–17,000 pin codes via BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees — the courier is assigned by your pin code, not by your preference.

Each box is a 5-ply corrugated fibreboard (CFB) box, 130 gsm paper with alternate flute orientation for courier-grade rigidity. Inside, a 12-slot partition carries transit pressure so the fruit doesn't. Every mango sits in a foam-net sleeve (flat width 50–55 mm, length 100–120 mm) on a hay bed. Six air holes top and bottom keep the micro-climate inside the box stable during the ripening window after you receive it.

If fruit arrives damaged, we replace it — 100% — provided you send photo evidence within 24 hours of delivery.

Fresh Alphonso is not available July to January. That is not a policy; it is biology. The tree alternates — a heavy season is typically followed by a lighter one, and the fruit simply does not exist outside February–June.

How to Order

1. Select your grade. Choose Ratnagiri (₹1,849–₹5,399) or Devgad (₹1,849–₹5,499) on the product page. Pick your weight grade — Small (150–180 g), Medium (180–225 g), Extra Large (250–275 g) or Jumbo (275–300 g) — and your box size: half dozen, one dozen or two dozen.
2. Add to cart and check out. Enter your delivery address. The system assigns the right courier for your pin code automatically.
3. We dispatch. Your order ships via BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees depending on your pin code and reaches you in 1–3 days across most of India.

Where Our Alphonso Mangoes Come From

Prashant Powle founded AlphonsoMango.in in 2017. Powle Home Foods, the operating entity, was registered in July 2019 and ran its first full commercial season in 2020. Today, the network covers 55 named villages across Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts — from Pawas and Golap in Ratnagiri taluka to Vijaydurg and Kunkeshwar in Devgad taluka, with Achara, Tondavali and Shiroda in Malvan and Vengurla talukas, and Rajapur, Velas, Anjarle and Velneshwar in the southern Ratnagiri talukas.

The orchards in this network are typically 12–25 years old, sea-facing, selected on three criteria: Brix consistency, tree longevity and how well the farmer manages alternate-bearing cycles. There are 100+ partner farmer families. Cultivation follows strict SOPs covering which natural sprays and fertilisers are permitted from flowering to harvest. We buy from these farmers at the orchard gate, not through commission agents.

How the fruit is harvested

The tree is never shaken. Every fruit is picked using a Nutan or Zela pole fitted with a catching net and a cutting mechanism — the mango is severed and caught before it touches the ground. For tall trees, an indigenously developed length-extending pole with a camera guides the cut. This matters because a single impact bruise on an Alphonso blackens within hours; a dropped mango is a wasted mango.

How to Identify Genuine Hapus

The GI system for Alphonso (GI No. 139) covers Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts specifically. A mango labelled "Alphonso" grown outside this zone is not legally GI-certified, whatever the seller claims. Our GI Registry Certificate No. 4163 was issued 16 October 2019. Every box we ship carries that authorisation.

Three quick checks when your box arrives:

Skin: a ripe Hapus is yellow with a faint saffron blush, smooth, no green patches near the stem. Smell: the aroma is strong enough to fill a room — not faint, not fermented. Pulp: deep orange, fibreless, no stringiness. If the pulp is pale or the skin has chemical-looking uniform yellow with no blush variation, the fruit may have been carbide-ripened.

We test for pesticide residues every week through the season at Envirocare Labs Pvt. Ltd., Thane (NABL accredited, certificate TC-8284). The April 2025 report (01/ETHAP2500044, dated 5 April 2025) found all 28 residues within Codex maximum residue limits; 27 of 28 were below the limit of quantification (0.01 mg/kg). One residue — thiamethoxam — was detected at 0.013 mg/kg against a permitted limit of 0.2 mg/kg. We say "independently tested, all residues within Codex limits" — not "pesticide-free," because that one detection, though within limits, is real.

Natural Ripening: What We Do and What We Don't

Natural hay-bed (Aadi) ripening only, in temperature-controlled rooms. No ethylene chambers, no calcium carbide, no artificial ripening agents of any kind. The 24–48 hours at our Mumbai packhouse is monitored natural ripening on hay — not gas-triggered. This is how Konkan families have ripened Hapus for generations; we've built a temperature-controlled room around the same principle.

Carbide-ripened mangoes ripen from the outside in — the skin yellows while the seed end stays raw. Natural ripening goes the other way: the pulp sweetens uniformly, Brix builds to 18–24°, and the saffron blush appears last. That sequence is why our fruit tastes different.

After harvest, the fruit goes through a controlled hot-water treatment to reduce surface issues and extend shelf life before it reaches the packhouse.

Nutrition in a Ripe Alphonso

A 100 g serving of ripe Alphonso pulp contains roughly 30–36 mg of vitamin C. Against the ICMR-NIN 2020 recommended daily allowance — 80 mg/day for adult men, 65 mg/day for adult women — that 100 g serving meets about 40–45% of the men's RDA and about 50% of the women's RDA.

The fruit also contains mangiferin, a xanthonoid with documented anti-inflammatory activity in cell studies (Govindappa et al., 2011). It is high in fibre and beta-carotene (the pigment behind that deep orange pulp). These are not marketing claims; they are what the pulp contains at 18–24° Brix when ripened without intervention.

Alphonso puree is suitable as an early solid food for babies from around six months — keep it as a serving suggestion and check with your paediatrician for your child's specific readiness.

Storage After Delivery

Your box arrives at 70–80% ripeness. Leave the mangoes at room temperature, inside the box or on a hay bed if you have one, for up to three days. Do not refrigerate unripe Alphonso — cold stops the ripening and kills the aroma. Once fully ripe (the fruit gives slightly under thumb pressure and the room smells of the mango), refrigerate and eat within two days.

The foam-net sleeves and 12-slot partition in the box are doing real work during this window. Keep the box closed and in a ventilated spot, away from direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

People Also Ask

Is Alphonso the best mango in the world?

Alphonso from Ratnagiri and Devgad consistently earns that reputation. Brix of 18–24°, saffron-yellow flesh with almost no fibre, and an aroma that no other cultivar matches in intensity. It holds GI Tag No. 139 in India and commands premium prices in export markets including the US, UK, UAE and Japan.

Whether it is the single best is a matter of palate — but among the 47,000+ customers who have ordered from us since 2020, very few switch away once they've tasted a genuinely tree-ripened Hapus from Konkan.

What is the rate of 1 kg Alphonso mango?

GI-tagged Alphonso mangoes from Ratnagiri or Devgad sold online by authorised users are priced by the box, not by the kilogram. A half-dozen box (roughly 0.9–1.65 kg depending on grade) starts at ₹1,849; a two-dozen box runs up to ₹5,499. Per-kilogram rates at local markets vary widely by season, grade and city.

Buying by the box from a GI-authorised source gives you a graded, traceable, naturally ripened fruit — the per-kg rate at a sabzi mandi rarely guarantees the same.

Can you get Alphonso mangoes in the US?

Yes — India exports GI-tagged Alphonso mangoes to the US, and AlphonsoMango.in ships to the Indian diaspora there during the February–June season. Fruit must meet USDA phytosanitary requirements, including irradiation treatment before entry. Availability is seasonal and limited, so pre-season waitlists fill quickly for export-quality Devgad and Ratnagiri fruit.

What country is Alphonso mango from?

Alphonso mango is from India, specifically from the Konkan coast of Maharashtra — the districts of Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg. It holds Geographical Indication Tag No. 139 under Indian law, which restricts the name to fruit grown in that defined region. The name traces to Afonso de Albuquerque, the Portuguese colonial administrator who introduced grafting to Goa in the 15th century.

Ratnagiri Alphonso won the Gold Medal at the national One District One Product Awards 2024, the latest official recognition of its regional distinctiveness.
