    What people in Ammasiyur are saying

    1 neighbours have shared what matters to them — in their own words.

    “My name is Nagarajan, I am from Salem district. Salem district is very famous for mangoes. Many high-quality mangoes are grown here. Varieties like Imam Pasand, Bengaluru, Banganapalli, Malgova, Alphonso are exported from here to local markets, other states, and foreign countries. However, for the past 10 years, due to ripening with pesticides and chemicals, the old taste of mangoes is no longer found. The body also does not get as much nutrition as before. It's not like before.”

    “எனது பெயர் நாகராஜன் நான் சேலம் மாவட்டத்தை சேர்ந்தவர். சேலம் மாவட்டம் மாம்பழத்துக்கு மிகவும் புகழ் பெற்றது. இங்கு இங்கு பல தரமான மாம்பழங்கள் விளைகிறது. இமாம் பசன், பெங்களூரா, பங்கனப்பள்ளி, மல்கோவா, அல்போன்சா போன்ற வகைகள் உள்ளூரிலும் வெளி மாநிலத்திலும் வெளிநாடுகளுக்கும் ஏற்றுமதியாகிறது இங்கிருந்து. ஆனால் கடந்த 10 ஆண்டுகளாக எல்லாம் பூச்சி மருந்து, வேதியல் வைத்து பழுக்க வைப்பது என்று பழைய மாம்பழ சுவையில் தற்பொழுது கிடைப்பதில்லை. உடலுக்கும் அவ்வளவு சத்து கிடைப்பதில்லை. முன்பு போல் இல்லை.”

    In your area, a significant concern has been raised regarding the renowned Salem mangoes. For the past decade, residents have observed a noticeable decline in the traditional taste and nutritional value of these high-quality mangoes 🥭. This deterioration is attributed to the widespread use of pesticides and chemicals for ripening 🧪. The potential for improvement is high, given Salem's reputation for diverse and export-quality varieties. Addressing these chemical ripening practices would be a crucial step towards restoring consumer confidence and the authentic quality of this staple crop 💡, ensuring its continued prominence in both local and international markets.
