What a Ratnagiri Hapus store should offer
A Ratnagiri Hapus store is a shop, online or offline, that sells Alphonso mango grown in Ratnagiri district on the Konkan coast. Hapus is the Marathi name for Alphonso. The phrase is used for roadside stalls in the season, for fruit shops in Mumbai and Pune, and for websites like ours. What matters is not the sign but what the store can show you.
We are Powle Home Foods, and we run AlphonsoMango.in from Mumbai. Our first sales were offline in 2019, and we have sold online since 2020. We have served 47,000+ customers, including offline and marketplace sales. This page explains what our store sells, where the fruit comes from, and what to check in any Hapus store before you pay.
- A named origin. Ratnagiri district, or Devgad taluka in Sindhudurg district, not just "Konkan".
- GI paperwork. Alphonso from this belt is GI-tagged in India under GI No. 139. We hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139).
- A stated ripening method. Hay beds, in our case, and never carbide.
- A food licence. We are an FSSAI-licensed seller; the number is on our AlphonsoMango.in brand facts.
- A named courier and a PIN code check. Blue Dart, checked at checkout.
What our Ratnagiri Hapus store sells
The store is built around two Alphonso products and a few companions. Prices are "from" prices and may change; check the product page for today's price.
| Product | Origin | Price | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ratnagiri Alphonso dozen boxes | Ratnagiri district | From Rs 1,849 per dozen, up to Rs 5,399 for the largest option | February to June |
| Devgad Alphonso | Devgad taluka, Sindhudurg | From Rs 1,849 per dozen | February to June |
| order Kesar mango | Gujarat | Rs 999 half dozen, Rs 1,699 dozen | In season |
| Pairi mango | Konkan | From Rs 2,799 per dozen | In season |
| Alphonso pulp tins (850 g and 3.1 kg) | Alphonso pulp, 850 g and 3.1 kg | From Rs 590 | All year |
A dozen of Alphonso weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. The grade is the weight range of each fruit, and it is what moves the price. The whole list, including Dasheri, Totapuri, Salem and Malgova pages for their seasons, is on the mango collection. Out of season, many customers use the store for cashews, dates and other dry fruits from the dry fruits collection.
Where the Hapus in our store comes from
We source Alphonso across 48 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt. Ratnagiri is a district with its headquarters at Ratnagiri town; Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district. Both lie on the Konkan, the coastal strip between the Arabian Sea and the Deccan plateau. Both grow the same variety, and we do not rank one above the other.
Harvesting is done before dawn at Brahma Muhurta. Fruit is cut by hand with a zela pole fitted with a catching net, so the tree is not shaken and the fruit does not fall. Alphonso fruits generally weigh 150 to 300 g, and the pulp is described as rich, creamy and non-fibrous. The variety is named after Afonso de Albuquerque; mango grafting was introduced in Portuguese Goa by Jesuit missionaries, and named Indian varieties such as Alphonso are still propagated by grafting.
Mango cultivars of the Indian group are monoembryonic, which is why a named variety has to be grafted rather than grown from seed; a seedling would not come true. That is also why a Hapus store cannot simply plant more trees for next year's demand. The supply is set by the orchards already standing.
Our guide to Ratnagiri and Devgad Hapus and the Alphonso origin story go deeper into the place and the history.
How the store ripens the fruit
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds. Mature fruit is laid on hay beds and ripens over several days. Calcium carbide is prohibited for ripening fruit in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011. Ethylene up to 100 ppm is the permitted alternative.
Harvest to ripening of Alphonso takes about 15 days, so fruit from any honest store may arrive firm. Keep it at room temperature, away from direct sun, and check daily. No home test, including the bucket-of-water test, proves how a mango was ripened; it is a rough clue, not proof. Ask the store how the fruit was ripened, and read our guide to identifying authentic Hapus.
Ordering from the store and delivery
Open a product page, choose the grade and dozen count, add to cart and check out with your address and PIN code. We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Check your PIN code at checkout. We do not promise a delivery day for any named city, because it depends on the PIN code and the courier route.
Open the box on the day it arrives and look at each fruit. If anything is damaged, report it within 24 hours of delivery by writing to support@alphonsomango.in or calling 8369048029. Our shipping charges guide covers costs, and our ripening guide covers the days after delivery.
If you want Hapus for an office, a wedding or a gift, write to us with the quantity, cities and dates. We supply restaurants and hotels in general terms as well; see our HoReCa page and the gifting page.
When the store has fresh Hapus
Alphonso is harvested about February to June, and the best supply runs from March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Outside the season we do not sell fresh Alphonso, because the trees give one crop a year. A store offering fresh Ratnagiri Hapus in October should be asked where the fruit came from.
Alphonso pulp tins are available all year, so aamras, milkshakes and kulfi do not have to wait. Our mango season guide gives the month-by-month picture.
