The waiting time for mango, known as the king of fruits, is coming to an end. In other words, mangoes are ready in Madhesh. Local Nagendra Pradhan was found picking mangoes with laborers in the garden in Lahan on Sunday morning.

According to Pradhan, he has been picking mangoes for two days. Like him, farmers and traders from all over have started picking mangoes. Now especially Maldah, Sepia, Dussehri, Fazili, Zardalu and other mangoes are edible. However, these mangoes take one more week to ripen.

Mangoes such as Bombay, Krishnabhog, Chausa, Neelam, Chauria and Gulab are the fastest ripening mangoes. These mangoes, which are produced in small quantities, have only recently gone to the market. Maldah, Sipiya, Dussehri, Fazili, Zardalu and other varieties of mangoes are classified as medium varieties .

Kalkatiya and Bhadaiya are late ripening mangoes, which are ready and go to the market after June. However, since three and a half months ago, mangoes are abundant in the market . However, those mangoes are not pure mangoes prepared naturally.

Rambilas Yadav, a farmer of Golbazar, says that those mangoes are prepared by using non-edible chemicals such as drugs and pesticides especially by the traders in order to get a higher price . "The mango season has just started," he told Kantipur, "but the market is already full of mangoes that have been treated with pesticides and drugs, so they should not be eaten." However, traders who cultivate commercially and buy mangoes from here often deliver them to different parts of the country.

'Those who have cultivated little, their mangoes are consumed here, consumers or traders buy them here, but those who cultivate commercially take them outside,' Pradhan told Kantipur, 'I have also been cultivating mangoes in a commercial way, our production is large, so we take them outside.' Narrated . However, farmers are not satisfied to see that mangoes, which are currently being sold for up to 50 rupees per kg in the markets of Siraha along with cabbage, are being sold for more than 100 rupees in Kathmandu and other places.

Farmers feel that ordinary farmers do not have the capacity to sell outside and the government should have created such an environment. Bishnu Prasad Yadav of Mirchaiya says that if this happens, every farmer here will gradually become professional. "Normal farmers do not have the ability to take it outside and sell it, so they are forced to sell it to traders here at a low price," he said, "The government should think about this issue." From which eight and a half 8 thousand tons of mangoes were produced last year . However, this year, the agricultural knowledge center, Siraha, estimates that the production will decrease by 40 percent.

According to Narendra Kumar Mahaseth, head of Agricultural Knowledge Center, Siraha, some mango plants have grown after a year. "Some mango plants bear fruit one year and take rest for one year, this is called alternate bearing," he told Kantipur.
