Bihar Farmer Creates Unique 1-Kg Mango Variety in Memory of His Father (AI-generated image)
After five years of research and experimentation, a Muzaffarpur farmer has developed a giant hybrid mango that is now attracting buyers from across India and abroad.
What started as a heartfelt tribute to his late father has turned into a remarkable success story for a farmer in Bihar.
Ramkishore Singh, a farmer and nursery owner from Rahua village in Muzaffarpur, has developed a new hybrid mango variety called “Nagendra Bhog,” named after his father, Nagendra Singh. The achievement is the result of five years of dedication, patience and continuous experimentation.
To create the new variety, Singh carefully crossbred four different mango varieties, selecting the best qualities such as sweetness, aroma, size, pulp content and shelf life. The result is a unique mango that can weigh up to 1 kilogram and offers a rich, juicy pulp with a balanced sweet-and-tangy taste.
One of the biggest advantages of Nagendra Bhog is its longer shelf life. The mango ripens later than most varieties and remains fresh for 7 to 8 days after harvesting, making transportation and marketing easier for farmers.
The new variety has gained popularity not only in Bihar but also across the country. Interest is also growing among farmers and fruit lovers overseas. Due to increasing demand, the mango is currently selling for around ₹200 per kg, compared to its earlier price range of ₹100 to ₹150 per kg.
For Ramkishore Singh, Nagendra Bhog is more than just a mango. It is a symbol of innovation, perseverance and a son’s love for his father.
