Karachi, Pakistan, has welcomed the arrival of the world’s most expensive mangoes, famously known as ‘Miyazaki.’ Originating from Japan, these exceptional mangoes are flourishing under the scorching sun of Karachi.
Traditionally, mango varieties like Chaunsa, Sindhri, Langra, Dasheri, and Anwar Rathore have dominated Pakistan’s mango season. However, the introduction of Miyazaki mangoes is revolutionizing the mango industry.
A local farmer shed light on the unique characteristics of Miyazaki mangoes. Unlike their yellow counterparts, Miyazaki mangoes stand out with their vibrant red and purple hues, boasting a distinctive flavor profile.
In international markets, these extraordinary mangoes fetch prices ranging from $800 to $900 per kilogram, equivalent to approximately Rs 250,000 to Rs 300,000 in Pakistan.
Following a successful trial period, more farmers across Pakistan are now cultivating Miyazaki mangoes. The farmer lauded the fertile lands of Karachi’s Malir area and expressed optimism about the future of Miyazaki mango farming in Pakistan, citing the region’s prowess in yielding abundant fruit harvests.
