We are Indians and our love for mangoes is not hidden from anyone. Most of us don’t like the summer season but still wait for it because of this sweet and tangy fruit. It is also one of the major fruits that India exports across the world. But do you know one of the world’s richest men, Mukesh Ambani, also has a massive garden of mango orchards located in Gujarat’s Jamnagar? This orchard is spread over about 600 acres and is known as “Dhirubhai Ambani Lakhibagh Aamrai”. This garden has more than 1.5 lakh mango trees and over 200 varieties of mangoes are grown here, including premium varieties such as Hapus (Alphonso) and Kesar. Every year, thousands of tonnes of premium mangoes are exported from Ambani’s orchard to different parts of the world, where these mangoes are in great demand for their high quality, taste, and aroma.

Notably, the garden functions like a agricultural laboratory. Researchers here use modern techniques such as drip irrigation, soil health monitoring and organic farming etc, ensuring yield and quality at par with international standards.

Mukesh Ambani started cultivating mangoes in 1998, when he transformed barren and saline soil into fertile land. He also kept in mind the environmental needs and pollution control of the area. Nita Ambani herself takes the responsibility of looking after this garden.

Reliance also provides modern farming training to local farmers here. Every year about 1 lakh plants are distributed to the farmers for free so that they can earn some extra money.

Notably, mango has created a strong business bond between India and America and Mukesh Ambani’s garden is helping in meeting the growing demand for Indian mangoes in the US and Europe.
