Haribhanga Mango of Rangpur: Bangladesh GI Mango — Buyer's Guide (2026)
Haribhanga Mango of Rangpur — Bangladesh's 2024 GI mango, firmest flesh and longest shelf life (18-22 days). Balanced sweet-tart flavor, HS 08045031/39, 7-point authenticity, 709 agriculture suppliers.
Haribhanga Mango of Rangpur — registered as a Bangladesh GI product in 2024 — is a relatively new commercial mango variety that has rapidly become one of the most popular mangoes in northern Bangladesh. Unlike the Chapainawabganj mangoes (Khirsapat, Fazli, Ashwina, Langra) which have centuries of history, Haribhanga was developed in the Rangpur region in the early 2000s through farmer selection and has since become the dominant commercial mango of northern Bangladesh. Known for its large size, firm fiberless flesh, excellent keeping quality (20–25 days refrigerated — the longest of any Bangladeshi GI mango), and a balanced sweet-tart flavor, Haribhanga is the mango that extended Bangladesh's mango production beyond the traditional Chapainawabganj belt to the northern Barind Tract.

📜 History & the Rangpur Mango Revolution

Haribhanga was popularized in the Rangpur region around 2003 by farmer Abdus Salam, who recognized the variety's potential for the northern Bangladesh climate. The variety's name "Haribhanga" (literally "breaking the green" or "green-breaking") reportedly refers to the fruit's tendency to develop a break or crack at the stem end when approaching ripeness. Within a decade, Haribhanga had transformed Rangpur from a non-mango-producing region into one of Bangladesh's major mango hubs, with annual production now exceeding 100,000 metric tons. The 2024 GI registration protected the "Haribhanga Mango of Rangpur" name.

🥭 Quality Characteristics

Haribhanga's distinctive characteristics: large fruit (300–600g), firm fiberless flesh (the firmest of all Bangladeshi GI mangoes — comparable to Fazli and Nak Fazli), balanced sweet-tart flavor (less intensely sweet than Khirsapat or Langra, more tart than Fazli), excellent keeping quality (20–25 days refrigerated — the longest of any Bangladeshi GI mango), and yellow-green skin even when ripe.
