RP Gupta (Retd. General Manager Coal India), who displayed mangoes at the festival, said, "It takes a lot of care to grow this mango. It is traded as a corporate gift, so the price of this mango is higher than normal mangoes."
"It also has a quality that a part of this mango that gets sunlight has a different taste and the other part has a different taste," he said.
The Miyazaki mango production was started in California in the year of 1940. Later it was brought into Japan's Miyazaki city and thus got its name Miyazaki mango.
Recently Indian growers mostly from Bengal have started growing the variety in their gardens. It is also known as 'Red Sun' and in Bengali 'Surja Dim' (Red egg). The mango is popular for its nutrients, taste, colour and sugar content.
