Name

The Malihabadi Dusseheri mango's legacy began in Lucknow Nawab's royal gardens during the 1700s. The original mother plant, estimated to be 200 years old, still blossoms in Dashaari village located under Kakori town, between Malihabad and Lucknow, the epicenter of this mango variety. [4] [5]

Description

This mango variety boasts a small to medium-sized elongated fruit, sporting a vibrant yellow colour, with fibreless pulp, distinctive rich flavor, and excellent storage durability. [6]

Uniqueness

Malihabad's traditional mango growers claim that 'Dusseheri' mangoes grown elsewhere lack the region's signature characteristics. For over 300 years, Malihabad's distinct soil, climate, and geology have infused 'Malihabadi Dusseheri' mangoes with unparalleled qualities: pleasant flavor, rich sweetness, fibreless pulp, and excellent keeping quality. [7]

Geographical indication

It was awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) status tag from the Geographical Indications Registry under the Union Government of India on 4 September 2009 (valid until 14 May 2028). [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

National Horticulture Board from Gurgaon proposed the GI registration of the Malihabadi Dusseheri mango. After filing the application in 2008, the fruit was granted the GI tag in 2009 by the Geographical Indication Registry in Chennai, making the name "Malihabadi Dusseheri" exclusive to the mangoes grown in the region. It thus became the first mango variety from Uttar Pradesh and fourth mango variety from India to earn the GI tag. [15]
