According to market yard traders, harvesting of mangoes from paddies has almost come to a standstill due to continuous rains in Gujarat and neighboring states for the past few days.
Kesar Mango Price in Ahmedabad (07 July 2026) | Saffron Mango Price Ahmedabad: The official arrival of Monsoon in Gujarat and the torrential rains in various parts of the state are now having a direct impact on the market of the king of fruits, mango. In Ahmedabad’s main market yards (Kalupur and Jetalpur markets), prices of mangoes have skyrocketed due to a huge drop in revenue. Yard prices of various quality mangoes today were quoted starting from ₹1500 per maund (20 kg) to a record-breaking level of ₹5000 depending on quality and size. Due to this sudden rise in prices amid monsoons, end-of-season mangoes are now proving expensive for common citizens.
Due to the rains, the income was at the bottom
According to market yard traders, harvesting of mangoes from paddies has almost come to a standstill due to continuous rains in Gujarat and neighboring states for the past few days. Besides, farmers and wholesalers are bringing less quantity to the market due to disruption in transportation and fear of spoilage in rains. Where previously hundreds of boxes were coming in daily, now only a limited quantity is reaching the yard. The demand in the market remains constant but the supply against it is very low, thus the prices have seen a sharp increase.
Prices of saffron and hafoos sky high
Ahmedabad market currently receives the famous Saurashtra saffron, Talalani saffron and mangoes like Valsadi Hafoos and Rajapuri. However, prices of premium quality saffron mangoes have increased the most due to rains in the final phase of the current season. The price of a good quality box is going out of the budget for normal consumers in the market. If the price has reached ₹5000 in the wholesale market itself, the price goes up further when it reaches the consumers in the retail market, which has disrupted the budget of the housewives.
Status of traders and consumers
Leading yard traders said, “Mango season is usually over at the start of monsoon, but this year the double whammy of late mangoes and early onset of rains has changed the market maths. Traders are also avoiding taking big risks as the mango crop deteriorates rapidly in the rains.” On the other hand, consumers say mangoes were expected to become cheaper at the end of the season, but the rains have turned the dice. If the rainy conditions continue in the coming days, the revenue will further decrease and the prices are likely to remain stable or increase further.
