Egg of the Sun mango which is called Miyazaki in Japan is now cultivating in Khagrachari, thousands of taka per kg. The famous Miyazaki or (Surjo Deem) mango of Japan is now being planted in the hills of Khagrachari. This type of mango is quite expensive. It is being sold from the garden at one thousand taka per kg.
The
agro farm is located at Dhumnighat which is almost four KM far from Mahalchhori
Zero Mile which is 19 km away from Khagrachhari, west side of Mahalchhari
Jalliapara road. The Egg of the Sun mango orchard has been planted at Kra A A
Agro Farm on 35 acres of land. Not only sun eggs, the owner is planting there
are about 60 varieties of mangoes in this farm. The owner of the mango garden is
Hlashimong Chowdhury. The young man who has a master's degree in English
literature from Chittagong University.
There is egg of the sun colorful mangoes hanging from 120 mango trees. 30 to 50 mangoes in each tree. On an average each mango weighs about 300 grams. It looks as if the green mango has been painted.
Hlashimong
Chowdhury collected egg of the sun mango saplings from different parts of the
country. For the first time this year, each tree has yielded. The egg of the
sun mango price in Bangladesh is high if compared with local varieties. He is
selling this variety of mango at one thousand taka per kg. But the demand in
the local market is very low due to high prices. However, many people from
Dhaka, Super shops are buying this mango from here. Some interested peoples are
also contacting for mango seedlings.
Hlashimang Chowdhury was born in a traditional educated family of Mahalchhari upazila. He completed his master's degree in English literature from Chittagong University and took charge of Sindukchhari Bazar Chowdhury in Guimara upazila. In 2015 he planted about 100 mango saplings of different varieties as a hobby. After two years, he started selling extra fruit outside of their own diet. He said the idea of commercial gardening once came to mind.
At present 12 local workers are working in his garden. Unuching Chowdhury, the wife of Hlashimang Chowdhury, who has a master's degree in management from Chittagong Commerce College, has been the inspiration and support for gardening from the very beginning.
The Surjo Dim / Egg of the Sun / Egg Sun / Taiyo no Tamago or Miyazaki is also known as Red Mango in the world. This mango is the most expensive in the world market. It is basically a Japanese mango variety. The mango is very tasty to eat. The soil and climate of the hilly areas are very conducive for the production of Miyazaki mango. Naturally, the mango is red and beautiful to look at.
In
2017, two mangos sold at a Japanese wholesale auction for a record-breaking
$3,744. The Egg of the Sun is a variety of mango grown in the Miyazaki
prefecture and sold throughout Japan. Although they don’t usually go for
thousands of dollars, on any given day you would be hard-pressed to find one
for less than $50. The question is: What makes these mangoes so expensive?
The
hefty price tag is partially due to the care that goes into growing these
fruits. Japanese farmers surround each mango with a small net, which allows
sunlight to hit the skin at all angles (giving it a uniform, ruby-red color),
and cushions the fruit when it falls from the tree. Allowing the mangoes to
simply fall when they’re ready, as opposed to manually picking them, ensures
optimal ripeness. The resulting mangoes are absolutely delicious. They have
very little fibrousness, are extremely juicy, and practically melt in your
mouth. The taste itself is perfectly sweet and tart, like mango candy with
hints of pineapple and coconut.
In
Japan, often meticulously packaged gift fruits are sold behind glass cases at
luxury fruit stores, as if they were jewels. Those who receive these perishable
gifts will often put them on display and, in the case of certain fruits such as
the square watermelon (which is sold under-ripe), they may never be eaten. So
although Miyazaki’s mango is arguably more delicious than its Floridian
counterpart, the majority of its price tag comes from what it represents.
Beside
egg of the sun varieties mango, in Hlashimang Chowdhury’s Kra AA agro farm
there are Banana, Kiujai, Three Test, Funai, Red Funai, King of Chakpat, Black
Star, Amrapali, Kacha Mitha, Rangui, Okrang, Mallika, Keshowai, Nilambori,
Philippine, Black King, Mahathir, Bari-4 Bari-11, local Guti Mango, Gourmati, Brunei
king, Ashwina, Subarnarekha, Gopalbhog, Okrang etc almost 60 varieties of
domestic and foreign and extinct species of mango.
