Hello there.
Today I would like to know the price of a mango in your country. It can be in single or grams or Kilo grams or pounds .
Here in Japan, just a single pcs of mango cost over 4000 Yen,. thats 40$ . LOL.
Its the most expensive fruits . Second one is melon. Mangoe They are sold seperately or in bundle, Bundles esp comes in 4 pcs wrapped perfectly like gifts. and it cost up to 20,000 Yen, thats 200$ .
I dont know why they are so expensive here in Japan.
In my country Nepal. I could get handful of mangoes like 1 kg literally cost around 150-200Rs. Thats 1-2 .
I havent yet tasted the mangoes here in Japan, I can afford it but I dont know it makes me look silly to waste so much money for a single pcs of fruit.

Here the mangoes are about USD2/500g. It is one of the common fruits here and therefore it is not very expensive. I travelled to Japan last year and I know everything is expensive in Japan. I found the watermelon is very expensive in Japan because it is not likely to buy a whole one because of the price. I just don't feel enough to have a piece of watermelon.

Some of those mangoes came from the Philippines, Philippine mango is the sweetest in the world ( Guiness record holder).
We seldom buy mango, we have our own tree plus if I like Indian mangoes, I just ask from my friendly neighbor when it's mango season

Yes. There are many types of mangoes, I dont know the difference though, I only know green are raw and yellow are riped . But I have also seen like red or blended red yellow mangoes, that particular are more expensive than rest.

We have yielding mango trees and so we do not buy. So many fall down half eaten by birds and squirrels.

In india also it is not so costly. I think japan is not growing mangoes its own and it totally depend upon the import only thats why it is so costly.
I think you need to try mangoes if you like it very much. If i will be there, i will definetely try it
