The Solution: This is the perfect variety for everyday consumption in supermarkets, catering to customers who want delicious mangoes without the premium “Gift Box” price.
Badami mangoes are generally larger and harder than the delicate Hapus.
The Benefit: This makes them slightly more durable for transport and handling, resulting in less wastage on retail shelves.
Retail Sales: The ideal “Family Pack” mango for supermarkets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Food Service: Used by hotels and catering companies for fruit platters and buffets because it slices beautifully without fibres.
Smoothies: Its light-yellow pulp makes visually appealing, sweet smoothies.
The Solution: While Air Cargo is best for freshness, Badami is robust enough for Sea Shipments to nearby ports (like Dubai/Oman).
The Benefit: This works seamlessly if harvested at the correct “Green Hard” stage and shipped in Reefer Containers.
