Karnataka mango corporation begins online sale of 12 varieties of mangoes available in state
The Karnataka State Mango Development and Marketing Corporation (KSMDMC) began the sale of 12 mango varieties grown by farmers across the state through its online portal Tuesday. Although the Karsiri portal was launched in 2018, the sale of mangoes through the portal had not begun until now.
The KSMD stated that fresh, farm-grown mangoes can be purchased through the Karsiri portal. The platform facilitates direct connections between farmers and consumers, eliminating the need for middlemen and ensuring fair prices for farmers and high-quality products for buyers.
A wide selection of mangoes, including Alphonso, Kesar, Himan Pasand, and other varieties, is available on the website, allowing users to browse, select, and purchase their preferred products with ease. Mango orders placed on the website will be delivered via the postal service.
The portal is easy to use, making it easy and accessible for everyone to buy mangoes. The corporation stated that fast and effective deliveries will be made to ensure the fruits remain fresh and flavorful. Same-day or next-day delivery is being provided.
The portal contains the names and mobile numbers of farmers, along with the varieties of fruits they grow. Once the customer places an order, the farmer will receive a text message. The farmer will then pack and send the fruits to the General Post Office (GPO) in Bengaluru. From the GPO, the boxes will be dispatched to their respective destinations.
Karnataka is among the top mango-producing states in India, cultivating the crop in several districts, including Bengaluru Rural, Kolar, Chikkaballapura, Dharwad, and Ramanagara.
Karnataka produces a variety of mangoes, including Badami, Mallika, Neelam, Malgova, Kalapad, Sindhura, Alphonso, and Totapuri, among others.
