Mango anyone?
At a local central wholesale market in Japan, the Taiyo no Tamago (Egg of the Sun) label of mangoes from the Miyazaki Prefecture fetched ¥300,000, setting a record high for the season’s first auction.
These mangoes are selected under strict criteria qualifications, for example, each must weigh more than 350 grams and sugar content, which must be high, according to the Miyazaki Agricultural Economic Federation.
The highest priced pair out of the 231 two-mango cases auctioned on the day was to be airlifted for sale at a department store in Fukuoka, Kyushu’s largest city.
“Producers had a hard time because of the low temperature this year, but we are happy that the mangoes fetched high prices,” said Yasukazu Matsuda, a member of a local fruit growers association.
