The Birth Story Of the Devgad Alphonso Mango:
In the early ’90s, mango growers in Devgad brought grafts from Ratnagiri for experimentation as the hard laterite soil of the region had made plans of the grafts difficult. However, the growers uprooted existing trees that had grown in the rock and planted the Alphonso grafts in their place.
These grafts survived and Devgad Alphonso was born. As part of their marketing efforts, Devgad mango growers started sending the Alphonso to Mumbai. The fruit then soon became popular in Mumbai as the people of the city loved it’s extremely fruity flavor, thick pulp, and the sweet and aromatic taste.
Popularly known as the Devgad Hapus, the fruit was able to fetch a premium price, thanks to it’s growing popularity and demand which is why it became a brand and started receiving commercial importance.
