As mango season draws to close, prices improve
The district deputy director of horticulture, Y Sheela John told TNIE that at the horticulture farm in Palathotttam, 4480 kg of mangoes were harvested generating Rs 2.2L. Last year, only 900 kg were harvested last year season and 4200 kg in the previous year. Popular varieties such as Neelam, Bengalura, Banganapalli, Alphonse,Himahudeen, Jahangeera, Kalapad, Panchavarnam, Rumani, and local varieties such as Panikanadan, Surankudi, Vettaiyan Surankudi were grown in the farm.
T Murugan (62), a mango farmer in Thittuvilai said in the yield has been high this compared to the last 6 to 7 years, which has brought down the prices.
Murugan, who has taken the Neelam variety trees on lease, said he did not harvest mangoes due to poor price. " As the mango season is drawing to close, the price is increasing. Now I am getting Rs 10 per kg whereas earlier it was much less," he said.
A mango trader E Ahilan said farmers sold Neelam variety for Rs 10 -Rs 8 per kg before, but the price has increased to Rs 10 -Rs 12 since Friday.
Similarly, Banganapalle variety was sold for Rs 20 per kg earlier, but now the price has increased to around Rs 80. This is because the arrivals is going down, he explained.

Bengaluru remembers beloved stray Pikachu as city rolls out meal plan for thousands of dogs: ‘The city has a big heart'
Even as Bengaluru makes headlines for traffic snarls and language spats, a kinder side of the city is winning hearts. In JP Nagar's Dollars Colony, right behind Clarence Public School, there's a wall that tells a story of love and loss. Carved into the stone is the face of Pikachu, not the Pokémon, but a beloved stray dog who once roamed the neighbourhood. Locals remember him fondly, and around the stone tribute are hand-written messages that show just how deeply he was cherished. The memorial was recently spotlighted by Nithin Kumar, a city resident, who made an X post saying, 'Walk behind Clarence Public School and you'll spot something special.' His post quickly resonated with Bengalureans online, especially as it coincided with a major new initiative for the city's street dogs. Walk behind Clarence Public School at Dollars Colony in JP Nagar and you'll spot something special. A little tribute to a stray dog named Pikachu. People loved him so much they made art for him. Now BBMP is feeding 5000 strays cooked chicken rice every day. @peakbengaluru… — Nithin Kumar (@nithinkumrr) July 11, 2025 Earlier this week, BBMP announced a daily feeding programme for nearly 5,000 strays across the city. On the menu was warm meals like chicken rice, egg rice, and veggies, carefully planned to offer at least 750 calories per dog. More than 100 feeding stations will also provide clean drinking water, with the goal of not just feeding but improving safety: well-fed dogs are less likely to be aggressive. 🚨 Bengaluru's civic body has launched a dog-feeding scheme worth Rs 2.88 crore, aiming to serve chicken rice daily to 5,000 stray dogs. — Indian Tech & Infra (@IndianTechGuide) July 10, 2025 Online reactions poured in, many touched by the Pikachu tribute. One user commented, 'Very happy to see that our dearest Pikachu is warming the hearts of so many people! We love him and miss him so much that we created this little shrine for him.' Others raised questions about the execution of the feeding plan. 'Don't know if they really feed the stray dogs or some middle men and politician loot tax money of hard working people?' wrote one commenter. Another said, 'Nice gesture. Would be really helpful for the dogs and commune to have 'dog shelter' so proper care is given and there are 'no' stray dogs in the street etc. Solving the root cause will be helpful.'
