Goa’s famous Mankurad has bagged the coveted Geographical Indication (GI) tag by the Geographical Indications Registry in Chennai. The application for the mankurad mango was filed by the All Goa Mango Growers Association, Panaji. This variety of mango is also known as malcorada, cardozo mankurad, corado, and Goa mankur. The Portuguese named the fruit malcorada, which means ‘poor coloured’, and with time, it became mankurad (mango) in Konkani.
