The Karnataka Horticulture Department plans to hold ‘Mango mela' at Dharwad from May 28-30. According to a Department release, it is for the third time the mela is being held here and it aims to showcase about 70 varieties of mango grown in the district.
The mela will help consumers get quality fruits and farmers the fair price. The mela is being held in the background that Dharwad region is witnessing sharp drop in mango production owing to erratic weather conditions. Due to this, total mango production in the region is expected to go down by 35-40 per cent.
