Brief History of origin of the Mango.
In 1985, famers started to cultivate the Mangoes in the city of Miyazaki, Japan and thereafter eight more farms were merged with first one to produce the commercial fruits for International market, but they were not satisfied due to black spot appearing on the mango stains. After somedays they found that ripe mangoes lying on the ground were sweet, delicious and looked like a giant red dinosaur egg. A new idea came up in their mind that a net would be placed in such way that it would not fall after it had ripened. In thus way their efforts became the pillar of success to cultivate the sweet and delicious mangoes. Soon after this, they created the brand name “Eggs of Sunshine” (Miyazaki Mango) and was able to get highest international market price Rs. 2.7 lakh per kilogram last year. It is not only biggest price but also unbelievable price.
The mangoes require hot weather, sunlight and abundant rainfall for their growth. Other than Japan, the Miyazaki mango is also cultivated in some other countries such as Thailand, Philippines. Indian has a favourable climate to grow the Mangoes.
