A farmer in Hinauta village in Jabalpur has grown Japan's Miyazaki mango that sells for ₹270,000 per kg (€3,000) in the international market. Not only this, he has grown 26 varieties of mangoes including eight foreign breeds from Nepal, China and America. To guard these valuable assets, he has installed hi-tech security cameras on the farm, deployed dogs and watchmen to keep a check.
The owner of the plantation, Sankalp Singh Parihar, said that last year there were several incidents of theft on his farm. To prevent such cases, he opted for high security cameras.
Apart from Miyazaki, his farm also has Jumbo Green Mango, also known as Talala Gir Kesar Mango, Japanese brinjal, Taiyo no Tamango. Kesar Almond Mango from Nepal, Ivory from China, Bala mangifera 'Tommy' Atkins, also known as Black Mango, originated in Florida, USA can also be seen swaying in his farm.
