1 Dozen Mango in Kg — What to Expect
Alphonso mango is not sold by the kilogram at the orchard or by reputable online sellers. It is sold by the dozen. This is a tradition rooted in the grading system used in Konkan orchards for generations.
How Much Does 1 Dozen Mango Weigh in Kg?
One dozen Alphonso mangoes weighs between 2.5 kg and 3.3 kg, depending on the grade and size band ordered. A Premium or Special grade dozen sits closer to 3.0–3.3 kg. A standard dozen of smaller fruits sits at 2.5–2.7 kg.
This means 1 kg alphonso mango price — if you calculate it — ranges from roughly ₹560 to ₹1,650 per kg, depending on the grade. Direct comparison with local market mangoes on a per-kg basis misses the point: the sugar content, aroma, and carbide-free natural ripening justify the premium.
Why Is Alphonso Not Sold Per Kg?
Grading by count — not weight — protects fruit quality. Each mango in a dozen is hand-sorted to match size and ripeness stage. Selling by the dozen keeps uniformity inside the box and prevents mixing of small and large fruits to hit an artificial weight target.
What Is the 1 Kg Mango Price Today?
Spot prices for Alphonso fluctuate daily at wholesale markets like Dadar (Mumbai) and APMC Vashi. In peak season (April–May 2025), Ratnagiri Alphonso wholesale traded at ₹800–₹1,400 per kg at origin. Retail in Kolkata markets adds freight, handling, and ripening costs. Online pre-booked prices from AlphonsoMango.in start at ₹1,849 per dozen — transparent, fixed, and inclusive of air shipping.

Delivery to Kolkata
Orders placed before 3 PM IST on business days dispatch the same evening from our cold-chain packing unit in Ratnagiri. BlueDart air express delivers to Kolkata (700001–700156 pin codes) in 1–3 transit days. Most Kolkata orders arrive within 48 hours.
Fruit is packed in a ventilated corrugated box with a hay-bed layer that mirrors the traditional orchard ripening method. This protects the fruit and continues the natural ripening process in transit.
If fruit arrives fully unripe, leave it at room temperature (24–28 °C) for 24–48 hours. Do not refrigerate unripe mangoes. Once the skin turns saffron-yellow and yields slightly to gentle pressure, it is ready. We do not use ethylene chambers or carbide at any stage.
We do not deliver to Kolkata from July through February. The fruit is simply not in season, and we will not ship out-of-season stock. This is an honest limitation and a non-negotiable quality standard.
Alphonso Mango in Kolkata
Kolkata — the City of Joy — has a culinary culture built on extraordinary sweetness. Rasgulla, Sandesh, Mishti Doi: these are not just sweets. They are expressions of the Bengali soul. Alphonso mango slots naturally into that culture because it delivers the same intensity of flavour in fruit form.
Between February and June, Alphonso mangoes appear at premium fruit shops on Gariahat Road, New Market, and across Salt Lake. Street vendors sell them by the dozen. Gifting a box of Hapus to a host or relative is a recognised social gesture during the season — as meaningful as a box of Chomchom.
Kolkata hosts an annual Mango Festival, usually in June, where farmers and traders showcase regional varieties. Alphonso is always the centrepiece. The festival lets buyers learn provenance, ripening methods, and how to distinguish genuine Hapus from imitations.
Because Alphonso is not grown in West Bengal, every fruit in Kolkata's market has travelled from Maharashtra. That journey adds to the price and makes traceability critical.
Alphonso Mango Price in Kolkata
Local Kolkata fruit markets price Alphonso at ₹600–₹1,800 per dozen depending on grade, size, and whether the fruit is GI-certified or loosely labelled "Hapus." Loose market fruit often lacks traceability and may have been ripened with calcium carbide — a banned practice under FSSAI regulations.
Online delivery from AlphonsoMango.in to Kolkata starts at ₹1,849 per dozen. The price includes:
- GI-certified Hapus from 48 villages across Ratnagiri and Devgad
- Hand-grading at source by Prashant Powle's team
- Hay-bed natural ripening — zero carbide
- Ventilated corrugated box packaging
- BlueDart air express freight to Kolkata
- FSSAI-compliant food safety practices throughout
Alphonso Mango Price Kolkata vs Other Cities
Mumbai and Pune buyers receive the same fruit at a slightly lower delivered price because transit distance is shorter. Kolkata's 1–3 day BlueDart freight adds cost. The fruit quality is identical — same orchard, same grading, same hay-bed pack. The premium you pay in Kolkata is purely logistics, not quality.
Origin, GI Tag and Authenticity
Where Does Genuine Alphonso Come From?
The Alphonso Mango GI (Geographical Indication No. 139) covers fruits grown in specific talukas of Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, and Raigad districts in coastal Maharashtra. Only fruits from these zones qualify for the GI tag. AlphonsoMango.in sources from 48 villages across Ratnagiri and Devgad — including orchards in Devgad, Vengurla, and Rajapur talukas — under GI Authorised User registration AU/5974/GI/139/260.
How to Identify Fake Alphonso in Kolkata Markets
Counterfeit Alphonso is common in Kolkata. Signs of inauthentic fruit:
- Uniform yellow skin with no saffron blush — likely ripened with carbide
- Sour or flat taste — not 20+ °Brix
- Fibrous pulp — genuine Alphonso is fibre-free
- No GI label or FSSAI mark on the crate
- Priced suspiciously low (below ₹400 per dozen in-market)
Ask for the GI certificate number. Genuine certified sellers can provide it. AlphonsoMango.in's GI Authorisation is registry certificate 4163, issued 16 October 2019.
Natural Ripening — No Carbide
What Is Hay-Bed Ripening?
Freshly harvested Alphonso arrives at our packing unit still green or partially yellow. We layer each fruit in a bed of dry paddy hay inside ventilated wooden crates. The hay insulates the fruit, regulates temperature, and allows the mango's own ethylene gas to trigger uniform ripening. This is how Konkan farmers have ripened mangoes for over a century.
Calcium carbide is never used. It is banned by FSSAI for food ripening. Beyond legality, carbide-ripened mangoes taste flat, lack aroma, and can carry trace impurities. The difference is clear at first bite — and at first smell.
What Is the Brix Level of Devgad Alphonso?
A naturally ripened Devgad Alphonso measures 18 to 24 °Brix at peak ripeness. Ratnagiri Alphonso measures 18 to 24 °Brix. These are among the highest Brix readings of any Indian mango variety. Kesar mango, by comparison, averages 18 to 24 °Brix. Carbide-forced fruit rarely crosses 16 °Brix because sugar development is incomplete at harvest.
Nutrition and Brix
Is Alphonso Mango Good for Health?
Alphonso mango is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A (as beta-carotene), Vitamin B6, folate, and dietary fibre. A 100 g serving delivers approximately 60 kcal. The high natural sugar content (sucrose, fructose, glucose) makes it energising and satisfying. It is not a low-sugar fruit — consume in moderation if managing blood glucose levels.
Nutrition per 100 g (Approximate)
- Energy: 60 kcal
- Natural sugars: 13–15 g
- Vitamin C: 36 mg (40% RDA)
- Vitamin A: 765 IU
- Dietary fibre: 1.6 g
- Potassium: 168 mg
The fibre-free pulp of Alphonso means it is almost entirely edible. Wastage per fruit is minimal compared to fibrous varieties.
