Delivery to India

Orders placed before the daily cut-off dispatch the same day. BlueDart air freight carries each box. Transit is 1–3 days to most Indian cities — Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, and hundreds of smaller towns.

Each box is packed in a double-walled corrugated carton with ventilated pulp trays. Mangoes travel individually cradled. Temperature-sensitive routing applies for metros during peak heat weeks in May and June.

What if the mangoes arrive unripe?

Hapus is harvested mature-green and ripens in 2–4 days at room temperature. If fruit arrives firm, place it in a cool corner — not the refrigerator — away from direct sunlight. It will ripen fully within 48–72 hours. Do not refrigerate unripe mangoes; cold halts the ripening process and damages flavour.

What if there is damage in transit?

Photograph the box and fruit on arrival and contact support within 24 hours. Powle Home Foods replaces or refunds damaged pieces. We do not ask customers to return fruit.

Origin — 48 Konkan Villages

Every mango on this site traces back to one of 48 villages spread across Ratnagiri and Devgad in the Konkan coast of Maharashtra. Villages like Pawas, Mirjole, and Devgad-Malgund sit at the edge of the Western Ghats, where laterite soil, the Arabian Sea breeze, and the local rainfall pattern combine to produce the Hapus flavour that no other geography replicates.

Prashant Powle personally selects farmer partners in these villages each pre-season. Only orchards that meet the sourcing standard — no synthetic ripening agents, documented farm practices, GI-eligible geography — enter the supply chain.

The GI tag (GI No. 139, Registry Certificate 4163, issued 16 October 2019) is not a marketing label. It is a legal protection enforced by the Geographical Indications Registry of India. Mangoes grown outside the notified Konkan belt cannot legally carry the Ratnagiri Alphonso or Devgad Alphonso name.

How to Verify Authenticity

What does a genuine Ratnagiri Alphonso look like?

A ripe, authentic Ratnagiri Hapus has thin, smooth skin that turns yellow with occasional green patches — never uniformly orange as seen with carbide-ripened fruit. The skin has a faint saffron blush near the stem. Press gently: it yields softly without being mushy. The aroma from two feet away is unmistakable — floral, slightly spiced.

What is the Brix level of Devgad Alphonso?

Devgad Alphonso measures 23–25 °Brix at full ripeness. Brix measures dissolved sugar content. A reading above 22 °Brix is the accepted benchmark for premium Hapus. Fruit below 20 °Brix is typically off-variety or harvested prematurely.

How do I know the mango is carbide-free?

Carbide-ripened mangoes ripen from the outside in. The skin turns orange while the flesh near the seed stays pale and tasteless. Naturally ripened Hapus ripens evenly throughout. The flesh colour is deep yellow-orange all the way to the seed. There is no chemical aftertaste. AlphonsoMango.in exclusively uses natural hay-bed ripening — no carbide, no ethylene sachets.

Sustainable Farming and Natural Ripening

Farmer teams on partner orchards follow a documented Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). It covers soil preparation, fertilisation, pest management, and harvest timing.

Cow dung and cow urine are the primary soil amendments — time-tested in Konkan farming for generations. A circle pit is dug around each mango tree at the start of the monsoon season. Composted organic waste, natural fertiliser, and crushed calcium shells — a slow-release calcium source — go into the pit. Rain carries nutrients slowly to the root zone.

Parasites and fungal infections (particularly powdery mildew, which peaks during humid pre-season weeks) are managed with organic sprays. No synthetic pesticide residues reach the fruit.

What is hay-bed ripening?

After harvest, mature-green mangoes are bedded in dry paddy straw (hay). The straw insulates the fruit, maintains ambient warmth, and allows ethylene — the fruit's own natural ripening hormone — to accumulate gently around each mango. The process takes 4–6 days from harvest to shipping-ready ripeness. This is the traditional Konkan method. It is slower and costlier than carbide treatment, but the flavour is incomparably superior.

Sorting, Grading and Packing

How are Alphonso mangoes graded?

After harvest and before hay-bedding, each mango is hand-inspected. Graders check size (weight bands: Premium 200–250 g, Export 180–200 g), skin integrity, shape symmetry, and absence of black spots or latex staining. Reject-grade fruit never enters the dispatch chain.

Boxes contain 6, 12, or 24 pieces depending on the SKU selected. Weight per box ranges from approximately 1 kg to 4 kg net fruit weight. Each piece sits in an individual pulp tray to prevent contact bruising during air transit.

What does "Export Quality" mean for Devgad Alphonso?

Export-quality Devgad Alphonso meets APEDA phytosanitary standards (APEDA No. 225579) and the import requirements of the US, UK, UAE, Singapore, and Japan. Fruit is larger (200–280 g per piece), uniform in colour, and free of surface blemishes. The same export-standard fruit is available for domestic purchase at alphonsomango.in — buyers in India receive the same grade shipped abroad.

Season, Storage and Nutrition

When is Alphonso mango season in India?

The season runs March through June. The first boxes from Ratnagiri typically reach dispatch in the second week of March. Peak availability and peak flavour coincide in April and May. By late June, the crop ends naturally. From July through February, genuine Hapus is not available — no reputable seller offers it outside season. AlphonsoMango.in does not sell off-season fruit.

How should I store Alphonso mangoes at home?

Store unripe mangoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Once ripe — the fruit yields to gentle pressure and the aroma intensifies — consume within 2–3 days. If you cannot eat them immediately, refrigerate ripe mangoes for up to 5 days. Do not wash and refrigerate together; wash just before eating to prevent skin moisture from accelerating mould.

What is the nutritional value of Alphonso mango?

One medium Alphonso mango (180 g) provides approximately 100 kcal, 24 g carbohydrates, 1.4 g dietary fibre, 60% of the recommended daily Vitamin C intake, and meaningful amounts of Vitamin A (beta-carotene), Vitamin B6, folate, and potassium. The high natural sugar content (Brix 22–25) means diabetics should consume in moderation and consult a physician.

Can I order Alphonso mangoes for export or bulk?

Yes. AlphonsoMango.in handles bulk and export orders under APEDA licence 225579. Use the export enquiry form at alphonsomango.in/pages/contact-us to state quantity, destination, and delivery timeline. The team responds within one business day.
