High prices of Dussehri, Langra likely to come down by June 15
Jaipur: The beloved Dussehri and Langra varieties of mangoes are selling at higher prices this season due to low yield this year. However, wholesale dealers at Muhana Mandi say these varieties are expected to see a dip in prices from June 15 onwards. According to wholesale fruit traders at Muhana Mandi, most of the varieties of mangoes have now arrived in the market, including Safeda, Langra, Dussehri, Kesar, Fazali, Totapuri, and Alphonso. "We are getting Dussehri from Rampur, Hathras, Lucknow, and Meerut. Compared to 2024, the supply is less. When we enquired, we were told that yield of Dussehri and Langra varieties has been less this year," said Aabid Rehman, a wholesale dealer at Muhana Mandi. He added that several factors, including abrupt weather conditions during May and ageing trees, are behind the low yield of mangoes this year. "Dussehri is available at Rs 60 to Rs 80 per kg in the wholesale market, but in the retail market it is being sold at Rs 120 to Rs 150 per kg. Last year, prices of Dushehri in May were between Rs 80 to Rs 120 per kg in retail," said Mahesh Hardasani, a wholesale dealer of fruits. Hardasani added that Langra is available at Rs 50 to Rs 60 per kg in wholesale market and in retail between Rs 120 and Rs 150 per kg. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo Wholesale traders said they were expecting a better supply by the second week of June.

After marbles, Raj traders boycott apples from Turkey
HighlightsRajasthan traders have stopped importing apples from Turkey in response to Turkey's support for Pakistan amid tensions with India. Prices for apples from Turkey, which range from Rs 200 to Rs 250 per kilogram, will not be available in the coming months as traders have opted to boycott them. Wholesale dealers in Rajasthan, including Mahesh Hardasani and Abdul Sagir, are launching awareness campaigns and displaying boycott posters to prevent the sale of Turkish apples. After marbles, Rajasthan traders have stopped import of apples from Turkey after the West Asia country decided to support Pakistan during tension with India recently. The apples, whose prices vary between Rs 200 and Rs 250 per kilogram, started arriving in March and distributed in districts, including Jaipur, Ajmer, Alwar, Bharatpur and Udaipur. 'Apart from various varieties of apples from Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, we also get apples from Turkey that start arriving in March, and their season continues till July. However, we have decided not to procure them as Turkey is supporting Pakistan, which backs terrorists," said Mahesh Hardasani, a wholesale dealer of fruits at Muhana Mandi in Jaipur. Hardasani said in the next couple of months, people won't be able to see apples, as from March to July, only Turkish apples come in abundance. 'This is a decision we have taken, and other mandis in Ajmer, Alwar, Bharatpur and Udaipur have also decided the same. We are doing this as it was evident that Turkey supported Pakistan while India was fighting against terrorism,' said Abdul Sagir, a wholesale dealer at Muhana Mandi. Ramesh Samtani, a wholesale dealer of fruits from Ajmer, said that they have appealed to local traders to ban Turkish apples. 'We have enough stock in cold storage of apples from Kashmir and Himachal. We were sourcing Turkish apples from our counterparts in Delhi and Mumbai. Some traders were getting direct imports from Turkey," Samtani added. In Alwar, shops will soon start displaying posters reading "Boycott of Turkish apples," and an awareness campaign will be launched to prevent any further sales.
