The 2026 Devgad Hapus calendar.
The Alphonso window is short — about 50 days from first dispatch to last fruit. Here's how the 2026 season is shaping up, week by week, from the orchards we work with.
Week-by-week breakdown
| Window | What's happening | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Apr 15 – Apr 30 | Pre-booking opens. Final fruit-set check from orchards. | Best slot availability. Peak weeks fill first. |
| May 1 – May 10 | Early-pick supply. Mostly Single A. Lower aroma intensity. | Order if you can't wait. Otherwise hold for May 15. |
| May 11 – May 25 | Supply ramps. All grades available. Flavour at 90%. | Sweet spot. Mumbai slots fill 2 weeks ahead. |
| May 26 – Jun 10 | Peak quality. Triple A widely available. Maximum aroma. | The two weeks to taste it at its best. |
| Jun 11 – Jun 20 | End of peak. Late-season fruit, slightly variable. | Last reliable window — Triple A may be limited. |
| Jun 21 – Jun 25 | Final harvest. Last orders accepted Jun 22. | Order earlier — last-week boxes sell out by Jun 18. |
Why pre-booking matters
Pre-booking lets us lock harvest commitments with our twelve Devgad orchards before the open-market wholesale buyers do. It also fixes your slot — Mumbai peak-week slots typically fill 14–18 days ahead. Pre-book before May 1 if you want first-pick.
