Fruit merchants in Karnataka are struggling to cope with the growing demand for mangoes cultivated in Mysuru, which are processed into beverages. But the farmers are having a field day as they can command nearly Rs. 26,000 per tonne, up from the prices last year
Babu, a major wholesale dealer who procures the fruit directly from farmers and sells it to industries, told The Hindu that the demand will last for 45 days to two months and nearly 50 truckloads of mangoes are exported from Mysuru dail
