Mango wholesale means buying Alphonso by the dozen or the crate instead of by the piece. One dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. We supply Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso; write to us with your quantity, cities and dates.
You can compare boxes and sizes in our Kesar mango boxes.
What mango wholesale means for Alphonso
In the fruit trade, wholesale simply means a larger quantity bought at one go, usually by the dozen, the crate or the peti, for resale, for a hotel kitchen, for gifting or for a large family. Alphonso is traded in the same way in the wholesale yards of Maharashtra, from the mandis near Ratnagiri and Devgad to APMC Vashi in Navi Mumbai. Our guide to the Mumbai mango market explains how the city's markets work.
We are Powle Home Foods in Mumbai, and AlphonsoMango.in is our online store. Our fruit comes from 48 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast. We have served 47,000+ customers, including offline and marketplace sales. This page is for the buyer who wants to understand the numbers before asking any supplier for a quote.
How much does 1 dozen mango weigh in kg?
A dozen is 12 fruits. For our Alphonso, a dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. The spread is wide because Alphonso fruit generally weighs 150 to 300 g, so a dozen of the smaller grade is much lighter than a dozen of the largest. Weight in kg is therefore a poor way to compare two sellers unless both tell you the count and the grade.
The table below multiplies that range for larger quantities. Treat the figures as rough planning numbers, not as a packed-box weight.
| Quantity | Fruits | Rough weight range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 dozen | 12 | 1.8 to 3.3 kg |
| 5 dozen | 60 | 9 to 16.5 kg |
| 10 dozen | 120 | 18 to 33 kg |
| 20 dozen | 240 | 36 to 66 kg |
Kesar and Pairi can also be sold by the dozen, and their dozen weights differ from Alphonso. Check the product page for the pack you are buying. If you also want to know how heavy a single fruit is, see our note on how much a mango weighs.
Grades, box sizes and what each suits
Our Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso boxes are sold in grades sized by fruit weight, and larger fruit costs more per dozen. Prices start from Rs 1,849 per dozen and rise with the grade and with the number of dozens in the box, up to Rs 10,499 for the largest listing on our order-online page. Check the product page for the price of the exact option, because options change.
- Eating and gifting: buyers who want a showy, even box usually choose the larger grades.
- Family use: a mixed household that wants plenty of fruit for aamras and daily eating often picks a smaller grade to get more pieces.
- Processing and desserts: if you only need the flavour, pulp is easier to store and measure. Our Alphonso Mango Pulp Tin comes in 850 g and 3.1 kg tins from Rs 590.
Wholesale buyers sometimes ask for the cheapest grade. Cheapest is a fair question, but ask for the count and weight first, so you compare like with like.
What to ask any mango wholesaler before you order
These questions work for any supplier, including us.
- Which variety and origin? Hapus and Alphonso are the same variety. Ratnagiri and Devgad are the Konkan places linked to the GI tag.
- What is the count and weight per dozen? Ask for the grade, not only the price.
- How was the fruit ripened? 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. We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds.
- Can the seller show papers? Ask for an FSSAI licence number. Ours is 10020022011783. We hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139).
- How is damage handled? We ask buyers to report damage within 24 hours of delivery, so check the unpacking process with your own staff before the delivery day.
- What does the invoice show? There is no GST on fresh mangoes, and our invoice shows it.
None of these answers proves quality on its own, and a water or bucket test is only a rough clue, not proof. Reading the papers and comparing two or three quotes on the same grade is the dependable approach.
How we handle bulk and reseller enquiries
We supply individual families, resellers, restaurants and hotels, in general terms. We do not publish a fixed minimum quantity or a volume rate on this page. Instead, write to us through the contact page with four things: the quantity in dozens, the grade you want, the cities you need delivery in, and the dates. We then tell you what is possible for that season.
If you want to resell, read our mango reseller guide and use the reseller page. Hotels and banquet teams can start from the hotel and banquet page. For gifts to many people, our corporate gifting guide lists what to ask any supplier.
Our process is the same for a single dozen and for many. Fruit is hand-harvested with a zela pole fitted with a catching net, harvested at Brahma Muhurta, before sunrise, and ripened naturally on hay beds. We hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139); the details are on our Brand Facts page.
Season and delivery for bulk orders
The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Alphonso is harvested about February to June, and supply is best from March to May. Outside the season fresh Alphonso is not sold, though Alphonso pulp tins are available all year. If your plan needs a fixed delivery date, tell us early, because a firm date is easier to arrange at the start of the season than at the peak.
We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Check your PIN code at checkout. For a large order across several cities, send us each PIN code in your enquiry, so we can tell you the route for each. We do not promise next-day delivery to any named city.
If you only want a few dozen, you can order directly from the order-online page or from the mango collection. For prices across the country, our Alphonso mango price in India guide explains what moves the figure.

People also ask
How many kg is 1 dozen mangoes?
A dozen is 12 fruits. For our Alphonso, one dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade, because individual fruit generally weighs 150 to 300 g. Always ask a seller for the count and the grade along with the weight, since the same dozen can differ widely.
How many mangoes are in a 10 kg box?
It depends on the size of the fruit. Alphonso generally weighs 150 to 300 g per fruit, so 10 kg holds roughly 35 to 65 fruits, which is about three to five dozen. A box of larger fruit holds fewer pieces, so ask the seller for the count.
When is the best time to buy mangoes in bulk?
For Alphonso, supply is best from March to May, within a harvest that runs about February to June. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Bulk buyers who need fixed dates should write to the seller early in the season, before peak demand fills the calendar.
What should I ask a mango wholesaler?
Ask the variety and origin, the count and weight per dozen, how the fruit was ripened, whether the seller has an FSSAI licence and, for Alphonso, a GI Authorised User certificate. Also ask how damage is reported and what the invoice shows. Compare quotes on the same grade.
