Changing consumer preferences are revitalizing nearly-extinct mango varieties like Husnara and Ratol in Lucknow's Malihabad orchards. Farmers are shifting focus from Dussehri to meet rising demand for diverse flavors, fetching higher prices for red-fleshed varieties. However, unfavorable weather, rising production costs, and counterfeit pesticides pose challenges to profitability despite increased output.

Core Tip: On the evening of May 28, 3 tons of mangoes from Bangladesh arrived at Changsha Airport Port via flight from Dhaka. At the border inspection site for imported fruits, Huanghua Airport Customs officers immediately verified cargo labels, phytosanitary certificates, and other documents, conducted quarantine inspections of packaging and fruit appearance, and after finding no abnormalities, the batch of mangoes was cleared for entry that same evening. This marks China's first import of Bangladeshi mangoes.

Previously, this mango variety was primarily exported to international markets such as Singapore, China, and Thailand, but due to multiple factors, overseas markets have shrunk, and it can now only be exported in limited quantities to the Chinese market, with purchase volumes dependent on buyer demand, making it difficult to obtain ideal prices. A mango plantation owner in Bandanaw Township said: "The 'Saint Dragon' mango prices are unsatisfactory, and now only the domestic market remains, naturally driving prices down. Relying solely on the domestic market is completely unprofitable, with domestic sales volumes at only about 50%." Currently, the domestic market price of "Saint Dragon" mangoes has dropped from 65,000 to 75,000 Myanmar kyat per 16-kilogram crate to 45,000 Myanmar kyat. A mango trader in Wakyi Township noted: "This mango requires whole-orchard contract purchasing, and market downturn has created operational difficulties, having to deal with pest damage while facing price stagnation. This season's production is barely enough to recover whole-orchard contract costs, but yields are far below previous years." The main "Saint Dragon" mango production areas in Ayeyarwady Province include Wakyi, Pathein, Bandanaw, Dedaye, Nyaungdone, Maubin, and Zalun townships. Additionally, farmers are facing soaring feed and pesticide costs, with high cultivation investments leading to reduced fertilization and continuous decline in mango yields.
