To buy Ratnagiri Hapus online, order from a seller who names the district, shows GI paperwork and states the ripening method. AlphonsoMango.in sells Ratnagiri Alphonso by the dozen from Rs 1,849 and ships by Blue Dart. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027.
What Ratnagiri Hapus is
Hapus is the Marathi name for the Alphonso mango. Ratnagiri Hapus is Alphonso grown in Ratnagiri district, on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra between the Arabian Sea and the Deccan Plateau. The Alphonso variety is named after Afonso de Albuquerque, and mango grafting was introduced in Portuguese Goa by Jesuit missionaries.
Alphonso from the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt is GI-tagged in India under GI No. 139. We are Powle Home Foods in Mumbai, we run AlphonsoMango.in, and we hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139). Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district, and both areas grow the same variety, so we do not rank one above the other.
Alphonso fruit generally weighs 150 to 300 g, and the pulp is described as rich, creamy and non-fibrous. Mango cultivars of the Indian group are monoembryonic, so named varieties such as Alphonso are propagated by grafting. Our guide to the Alphonso mango GI tag explains what the registry record covers.

Identifying Ratnagiri Hapus at home
No single look, smell or kitchen test proves a mango is Ratnagiri Hapus or proves how it was ripened. Treat the signs below as rough clues, not proof, and rely on the seller's answers and paperwork.
- Aroma. A ripe Alphonso has a sweet smell that is strongest near the stalk.
- Skin. The colour is often uneven, with green, gold and a blush on one fruit. An even bright yellow skin is only a rough clue.
- Stalk end. Some fruit shows a little sap or wrinkling near the stem when ripe. This is a rough clue, not a test of origin.
- Bucket test. Dropping a mango in water is only a rough clue, not proof.
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds. 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. Our guide on how to identify Alphonso goes further.
Grades and price
Ratnagiri Hapus is sold by the dozen, and the price depends on the grade, which is the weight of each fruit. Ratnagiri Alphonso starts from Rs 1,849 per dozen, and the largest Ratnagiri option goes up to Rs 5,399. A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. Prices may change, so check the product page for today's price.
- Smaller grades suit everyday eating, children and aamras.
- Larger grades suit gifting, where each fruit is meant to be seen.
- First order? Start with one dozen and learn how fast the fruit ripens in your home.
When you compare sellers, compare the same grade. A dozen of small fruit and a dozen of large fruit are different products even when both are called one dozen, and a low price for an unnamed grade tells you little. Ask for the weight range per fruit and the district, and then compare. We do not quote per-kilo prices, because a dozen is the unit we sell. For more on price, see our Ratnagiri Hapus price guide and why Alphonso is costly.

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 fresh Alphonso is not sold, but Alphonso pulp tins are available all year in 850 g and 3.1 kg sizes from Rs 590. See the Alphonso Mango Pulp Tin.
Nutrition and aamras
About 100 g of raw mango provides about 36 mg of vitamin C, roughly 40% of the Daily Value. Mango also carries natural sugars, so people with diabetes or another health condition should ask their doctor or dietitian how much suits them.
Aamras is the simplest thing to make with Ratnagiri Hapus: peel, pulp, and blend or press by hand, with a little milk or water if you like it thinner. Our aamras recipe has the method, and our mango pulp guide explains storing pulp for later.
