Islamabad, May 26, 2025:Pakistan has officially joined the elite club of countries cultivating the world’s most expensive purple mango, known locally as Shan-e-Khuda. This rare and luxurious fruit, originally grown in Japan’s Miyazaki Prefecture, can fetch prices as high as Rs 300,000 per kilogram due to its extraordinary taste, health benefits, and unique appearance.
This exotic mango, originally from Japan’s Miyazaki Prefecture, is now being grown in Malir’s Memon Goth area of Karachi — making Pakistan a surprising new home to this luxury delicacy.
What Makes the Miyazaki Mango So Special?
The Miyazaki mango, often dubbed the “Egg of Sunshine”, is not just a treat for the eyes but also for the taste buds. Known for its deep purple-red skin, fiberless texture, and juicy, creamy flesh, it offers a melt-in-your-mouth experience that few fruits can rival.
- Grown under specific temperature and humidity conditions
- Rich in antioxidants, beta-carotene, and natural sugars
- Exceptionally sweet, aromatic, and ultra-soft

Pakistan’s First Purple Mango Tree
The journey of the world’s most expensive purple mango in Pakistan began when Ghulam Hashim Noorani imported a Miyazaki sapling from Japan nearly six years ago. With careful cultivation and patience, Noorani’s team, including gardener Faheem, has successfully grown the first Miyazaki mango tree in the country.
“This is the only Miyazaki mango tree in Pakistan, and it’s thriving right here in Malir,” said Faheem. According to him, most of the produce is being reserved for international export markets due to its premium pricing.
Global Prestige, Local Achievement
While Indian mangoes face export rejections in the U.S., Pakistan is making headlines with its bold step into the luxury fruit market. The successful growth of the Miyazaki mango represents a new era of high-value agricultural innovation in the country.
Key Highlights:
- First Miyazaki mango tree in Pakistan located in Karachi
- Price: Rs 250,000–300,000 per kilogram
- Rare, luxurious, and globally sought after
- Known as “Egg of Sunshine” and “Dinosaur’s Egg”
With global attention now on this purple treasure, Pakistan’s agriculture sector has taken a delicious step forward.
