Bhubaneswar, 19/05: Bhubaneswar recently hosted a grand mango exhibition. The event clearly showed the hard work and success of local farmers. The Directorate of Horticulture organised this special display during a major regional conference in the capital city.
Odisha's Chief Minister, Mohan Charan Majhi, attended the event.
Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, also joined him. Both leaders spent time looking at the colorful fruit displays. They praised the local farmers for growing such wonderful and healthy mangoes. Many top officials and ministers from other eastern states also visited the beautiful exhibition and shared their appreciation.
The Agriculture Production Cluster worked closely with local farm business owners to set up the stalls. They gathered an amazing collection of fruits from across the state. Visitors saw about 35 to 40 different types of high-quality mangoes. Farmers from various districts brought their best harvests to show the public.
One special mango quickly caught everyone's eye. It was the bright red 'Similton Sundari' mango from the Mayurbhanj district. People also felt surprised when they saw the 'Miyazaki' mango. This famous global variety sells for more than 1,000 rupees per kilo in international markets. Local farmers now successfully grow this rare fruit right here in Odisha.
The exhibition highlighted many other local favorites as well. Keonjhar district proudly presented the 'Baladev' mango. Balangir district showcased the tasty 'Jahangir' variety. Dhenkanal district brought the 'Belagaja' mango. The stalls also featured modern hybrid types. Visitors learned about new varieties like Arka Neelachal, Keshari, Arka Puneet, Arka Suprabhat, Arka Uday, and Ambika. These new types prove that local farmers use great skill and modern science today.
Odisha has a perfect climate for growing fruit. Progressive farmers work very hard in their fields every single day. Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) also manage the business side very well. Because of these three factors, mango production in the state has improved rapidly. The quality of the fruit gets better every year.
These farmer groups collect the best fruits from small villages. Then, they send the fresh mangoes to other Indian states. They even sell them to different countries. Just recently, the state achieved a major milestone. Farmers from the Dhenkanal district exported their famous 'Amrapali' mangoes all the way to London.
This successful export brought great pride to the people of Odisha. Leaders believe this achievement will help the state earn more money. It will create new jobs for people in rural areas. The farming economy will grow much stronger in the coming years.
