Both options carry the same GI protection. The Devgad premium (₹100 across most grade bands) reflects slightly higher yield variability from smaller, sea-facing orchards in Sindhudurg.

Delivery Across India

Fruit leaves the Ratnagiri or Devgad packhouse within 2 hours of harvest, travels by air-conditioned vehicle to our Mumbai packhouse, rests on hay for 24–48 hours of natural ripening, then dispatches. Total farm-to-dispatch time: 48–72 hours.

We dispatch via BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees depending on your pin code. Transit time is 20–24 hours to metro cities and 1–3 days elsewhere across 15,000–17,000 serviceable pin codes.

Every mango travels in a 5-ply corrugated fibreboard box (130 gsm, alternate flute orientation, reinforced corners) with a 12-slot partition that absorbs transit pressure instead of the fruit. Each mango sits in a foam-net sleeve (flat width 50–55 mm) that stops stem punctures, skin friction and condensation — all three of which blacken Alphonso lenticels. Six air holes on the top and base keep airflow moving during the final ripening phase after delivery.

Fruit arrives at 70–80% ripeness and reaches full ripeness within three days of delivery. If fruit arrives damaged, photograph it and contact us within 24 hours — we replace it, 100%.

We do not sell fresh Alphonso mangoes July to January. That is the honest limit of this fruit's shelf life and our sourcing season.

How to Order

1. Step 1 — Select your grade. Choose Ratnagiri Hapus (₹1,849–₹5,399) or Devgad Hapus (₹1,849–₹5,499) based on the comparison table above. Larger grades (XL and Jumbo) cost more per box; the flavour at Medium grade is identical — only fruit size differs.
2. Step 2 — Add to cart. Choose half dozen, 1 dozen or 2 dozen box options on the product page, then complete checkout with your delivery pin code.
3. Step 3 — We dispatch. Your order ships via BlueDart, Delhivery, Ekart or XpressBees depending on pin code, reaching most Indian cities in 1–3 days from dispatch.

What Is Ratnagiri Hapus?

Ratnagiri Hapus is the Alphonso mango grown in Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra — specifically across villages like Pawas, Nachane, Golap, Mirya, Majgaon and Kasheli, where laterite soil, the Arabian Sea breeze and predictable seasonal rainfall combine in a way no inland soil replicates. The same variety grown 100 km inland tastes different. Growers, traders and buyers who work with this fruit year after year say this without hesitation.

The fruit holds GI Tag No. 139 (covering both Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts), which means only fruit genuinely grown in these talukas can be sold as GI-tagged Hapus. Ratnagiri Alphonso also won the Gold Medal at the national One District One Product (ODOP) Awards 2024 — a district-product recognition, not a brand award.

What does GI No. 139 actually mean for buyers?

It means the fruit was grown within the protected geographical zone and sold by an authorised user. Our GI Registry Certificate No. 4163 was issued 16 October 2019. When you buy from AlphonsoMango.in, GI Authorised User number AU/5974/GI/139/260 is on record with the GI Registry. A seller without this number is selling unverified fruit — which may be genuine or may not be.

What Drives the Price of Ratnagiri Hapus?

Three things move the price more than anything else: grade (fruit size), timing within the season, and the year's yield.

Grade and size. Small fruit (150–180 g) costs less per dozen than Jumbo (275–300 g). The pulp-to-skin ratio improves with size, which is why the premium exists. For Aamras or pulp, Medium grade is the practical choice.

Season timing. Early-season fruit (February–early March) commands higher prices because supply is thin and demand from premium buyers hits first. Mid-season (April) is the sweet spot — volume is highest, quality peaks, and prices are most stable. Late-season fruit (June) drops in price as trees begin to wind down, but quality can be inconsistent.

Yield variability. Alphonso bears heavily in alternate years. In a low-yield season — Prashant Powle was interviewed by The Economic Times in June 2026 about exactly this, describing the crop as "facing an existential crisis" due to weather — prices across all grades rise sharply because supply contracts while demand holds. We source from 100+ partner farmer families across 55 villages to buffer against single-orchard failures, but a district-wide weather event raises everyone's costs.

AI/ML grading. Every fruit we sell passes through machine scanning for internal defects (spongy tissue) and external deformities before packing. Fruit that fails is not shipped. This means our reject rate is visible in the price — you are paying for consistent fruit, not a box where three mangoes disappoint.

Why do online prices for Hapus vary so much?

A box priced at ₹600 on a marketplace is not GI-tagged Ratnagiri Hapus. It may be Kesar, Badami or a Hapus-labelled Raigad fruit — all of which are good mangoes in their own right, but none carry GI No. 139 from Ratnagiri. The test is simple: ask the seller for their GI Authorised User number. If they cannot provide one, the GI claim is decorative.

How to Spot Genuine GI-Tagged Ratnagiri Hapus

Colour alone does not tell you much — Alphonso ranges from pale yellow to deep saffron-gold depending on the microclimate of the orchard. What separates genuine Ratnagiri Hapus from imitation fruit is the combination of aroma (distinctive, floral, not merely sweet), fibre-free pulp, and thin skin that peels cleanly. The Brix reading at full ripeness sits between 18 and 24° — you cannot fake that with gas-ripening; carbide gives you colour but not Brix.

Our fruit is independently tested for pesticide residues by Envirocare Labs Pvt. Ltd., Thane (NABL accredited, certificate TC-8284). The April 2025 report (certificate 01/ETHAP2500044, issued 5 April 2025) found all 28 residues within Codex maximum residue limits; 27 of 28 were below the limit of quantification. One residue — thiamethoxam at 0.013 mg/kg — was detected against a Codex limit of 0.2 mg/kg. We say "independently tested, all residues within Codex limits" and nothing more dramatic than that.

We do not use calcium carbide, ethylene chambers or any artificial ripening agent. The 24–48 hours at our Mumbai packhouse is hay-bed ripening in a temperature-controlled room — monitored, not gas-triggered. The process is called Aadi ripening and it is how Konkan farmers have ripened Hapus for generations.

Ripening and Storage After Delivery

Your mangoes arrive firm, at 70–80% ripeness. Leave them at room temperature (not in the refrigerator) for two to three days. You will know they are ready when the skin gives slightly under gentle thumb pressure and the floral aroma becomes strong near the stem end.

Once fully ripe, mangoes can go in the refrigerator for one to two days — no longer, because cold suppresses the aroma compounds that make Hapus worth eating. Cut and eat at room temperature or chilled, never straight from cold storage.

Can I store Ratnagiri Hapus in the fridge before ripening?

No. Cold slows ripening unevenly and can cause chilling injury in fruit that is not yet ripe. Keep unripe mangoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. A cool, shaded kitchen counter works well.

Nutrition: What You Actually Get from Ratnagiri Hapus

Ripe Alphonso pulp contains roughly 30–36 mg of vitamin C per 100 g. That is about 40–45% of the ICMR-NIN 2020 recommended daily allowance for adult men (80 mg/day) and about 50% for adult women (65 mg/day) — from a single 100 g serving.

Mangiferin, a naturally occurring compound found in mango pulp and skin, has been studied for anti-inflammatory properties in cell studies (Govindappa et al., 2011). The fruit also carries beta-carotene and dietary fibre. We make no therapeutic claims — this is a seasonal fruit, not a supplement.

Alphonso puree from fully ripe Hapus is a practical first food for babies from around six months. Keep it as a serving suggestion and check with your paediatrician if your child has allergies.

People Also Ask

How much does 1 kg of Alphonso mango cost?

Ratnagiri Hapus boxes on AlphonsoMango.in are priced from ₹1,849 to ₹5,399 depending on grade and quantity. A dozen Medium-grade mangoes (180–225 g each) weighs roughly 2.2–2.7 kg, putting the per-kg cost between ₹700 and ₹2,000 by grade. Early-season and Jumbo grades always cost more.

For Aamras or pulp use, Medium grade gives the best value — flavour at that grade is identical to XL.

Why are Ratnagiri mangoes so expensive?

Three things drive the price: laterite coastal soil that cannot be replicated inland, hand harvesting from orchards in villages like Pawas, Nachane and Mirya, and a short season of roughly four months. GI Tag No. 139 restricts the authorised growing zone, so supply is structurally limited. Early-season scarcity and Jumbo-grade fruit push prices highest.

Independently tested by Envirocare Labs (NABL accredited), all residues within Codex limits — that traceability adds cost most commodity fruit skips entirely.

How many Hapus mangoes are in 1 kg?

Depending on grade, roughly four to six Ratnagiri Hapus mangoes weigh 1 kg. Small fruit (150–180 g) gives five to six per kg; Medium (180–225 g) gives four to five; XL (250–275 g) and Jumbo (275–300 g) give three to four. Each fruit is individually weighed and graded before packing, so counts are consistent within a box.

Which mango is 1 lakh per kg?

No commercially sold Alphonso mango reaches ₹1 lakh per kg. That figure circulates around ultra-rare Japanese varietals like Miyazaki, which are auction novelties grown under controlled greenhouse conditions. Ratnagiri Hapus, India's most prized mango, sells in the range of ₹1,849 to ₹5,399 per box of six to twenty-four fruits during the February-to-June season.
