After receiving the delicious gift, Deb in a tweet, said that he is extremely happy after getting the mangoes and thanked Hasina. “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the India-Bangladesh friendship would remain intact,” he said in his tweet in Bengali.

Hosen said that the “Haribhanga” is a very special variety of mango grown in Rangpur in northern Bangladesh, and has played a significant role in changing the local economy.

“Haribhanga” mango variety is helping the farmers to increase their income to a large extent and is a blessing for them, he said.

Another Bangladesh Assistant High Commission official said that thousands of farmers have switched to mango cultivation over the last 20 years as the demand of this particular fruit has increased for its unique flavour.

“Haribhanga” mangos are round in shape, black in colour, highly fleshy, and fibreless, and typically weighs 200 to 400 grams.
