Mango lovers, rejoice! The 2025 Alphonso (Hapus) mango season has officially begun in Pune, with the much-awaited golden beauties arriving earlier than usual. Typically, these premium mangoes hit the markets by mid-March, but this year, traders have already started receiving fresh batches. Lets see why Hapus Mangoes Arrive Early in Pune – 2025 Season Begins!
Why Are Alphonso Mangoes Arriving Early in 2025?
The early arrival of Alphonso mangoes this season is due to favorable weather conditions in Maharashtra’s mango-growing regions, primarily Sindhudurg’s Devgad taluka and Ratnagiri. The consistent rise in temperatures and specific orchard conditions have led to premature fruiting. However, thanks to good rainfall last year, the fruit quality remains excellent.
Current Market Trends – 2025 Season
At Pune’s Gultekdi Market Yard, traders are seeing a steady supply of 30 to 40 boxes daily, each containing 4 to 5 dozen mangoes. While supply is still limited, it is expected to increase significantly in the next few weeks.
🔸 Price Alert: The first batches of 2025 Alphonso mangoes are being sold at ₹5,000 to ₹20,000 per dozen, depending on their size and quality. As the season progresses, prices are expected to stabilize, making them more affordable for consumers.
What to Expect for the 2025 Mango Season?
- More Availability Soon: As we move into March and April, expect a sharp rise in supply, leading to lower prices.
- Premium Quality: Thanks to favorable monsoons last year, the taste, aroma, and texture of 2025’s Hapus mangoes are top-notch.
- Karnataka Mangoes Delayed: While Maharashtra’s Alphonso mangoes are arriving early, Karnataka’s mango crop is seeing a delay due to late flowering. This could impact their availability in the coming weeks.
