Mango prices have dropped throughout the city during the previous week. Because of the great supply, consumers may enjoy the finest types of the 'king of fruits' at a reasonable price. The mango arrivals to the markets, particularly the Batasingaram market in Hayathnagar, began in February.
Initially, a kilogram of the
fruit was sold on the retail market for Rs200.
The 'benishan' kind of mango is presently priced at Rs 70 per kilogram in the market, while other varieties are somewhat more expensive.
