There is no doubt that we Indians love to eat mangoes. We all have different types of refrigerators. Even though it costs a little more than its normal price, we wouldn’t hesitate to buy it. But would you buy one kg of mango for Rs 2.7 lakh?! Yes, you read that right! Believe it or not, the world’s most expensive mango, called Miyazaki Mango, costs Rs 2.7 lakh per kg. Recently, industrialist Harsh Goenka shared about these mangoes. Miyazaki is mainly cultivated in Japan. The crop is quite unusual in India; Therefore, those who prepare it should put in place elaborate security measures like Mr. Goenka insisted in his post. Harsh Goenka wrote, “The unusual ruby-coloured Japanese variety of mango, Miyazaki, is said to be the world’s costliest mango, sold at Rs 2.7 lakh per kg. Parihar, a farmer in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, killed three security guards and Hired six. Dogs to secure two trees.” See his tweet here:

Miyazaki mangoes are marketed and sold under the names “Eggs of Sunshine” or “Taiyo-no-Tomago”. The skin of the Miyazaki mango is a fiery red color rather than green or yellow, and resembles a giant dinosaur egg. Each mango must meet specific requirements, including weight, sugar content, color and size. The Miyazaki mango reportedly needs to weigh at least 350 grams and have a sugar level of 15% or higher. Isn’t this amazing?!
