A 10-day mango
festival began at the Kanakkakunnu Palace ,Thiruvananthapuram on Friday19th
May,2012. The festival showcases all endemic and exotic varieties of mangoes,
including the large-sized Javaanpasand, to the small-sized Chakkarakutty. Inaugurating
the mango festival, agriculture minister K P Mohanan said a hi-tech mango farm
will be set up at Attapadi.He added that the Centre has assured to give Rs 183
crore as support for this farm. The state would be given Rs 10 crore to
initiate the project. Mango farmers above 60 years of age will be provided with
a monthly pension grant by the state government. The youth will be trained in
hi-tech farming practices which would be farmer-friendly, agriculture and
consumer-friendly.
Organized by the State Horticulture
Mission with the support of Mango Growers Association, the mango festival will
conclude on May 27. Farmers from the mango city, Muthalamada in Palakkad and
from cities across the state will be there at the venue to showcase the best
varieties of the fruit.Native mango varieties showcased at the festival include
Neelam, Varikka, Kilichundan, Kottukonam, Vellari, Kalappadi, Sindooram and
Chandrakkaran. Exotic mango varieties such as Banglora, Alphonsa, Banganapalli,
Malgova, Malliga, Jahangir, Daseri and Selam are also on display at the
festival."The aim of organizing such a festival is to protect the native
varieties and to provide more marketing and sales support to mango
farmers," said Dr K Prathapan, director of the State Horticulture Mission.
The farmers
involved in the cultivation of hybrid varieties of mangoes in the 400 hectares
of land at Muthalamada in Palakkad are glad to have obtained the recognition of
Mango City, said V Mohan Kumar, Mango Growers Association secretary and a
farmer from Muthalamada in Palakkad. However, it would be a relief if the
government provides more marketing and sales support across the state, at least
with one outlet in each district, he said. Prof. Molly Kurakar visited Mango
Festival exhibition on 22nd May, 2012.
