Connecting produce with people

Five mango varieties were offered alongside honey, pickles and mahua flower. The report records 618 customers and mango prices 40–100% above the stated farm-gate comparisons.

The event also generated enquiries for future institutional bulk orders. These were enquiries, rather than confirmed contracts.

This event occurred after 31 March 2026 and is reported separately from financial-year achievements.
