The Maharashtra state government has decided to establish a mango board in the Konkan region to support large-scale Hapus cultivation.
The board will provide support in areas such as insurance, production enhancement, pest control, and research.
Mango farmers have been demanding the establishment of a board for almost a decade.
Almost a decade after demands were first made by mango growers in Konkan, the state government has decided to establish a mango board in the region to support large-scale Hapus cultivation, especially in Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts.
