The unseasonal rains coupled with heavy wind in parts of Amreli and Saurashtra is likely to damage about 15-20% of the crop. A research scientist at the Junagadh Agriculture University, K Varu, said that around 20% of the mango crop has already been harvested and it is going on in full swing. He said that the quality of mango is likely to suffer because of the unseasonal rains and that may dampen market sentiments. Varu further said that the produce may also go down.
