$5,000 Mango at Auction ー but WHY? ★ ONLY in JAPAN

Japan is famous for it's luxury fruits sold at auction for ridiculous prices! But where does that value come from? Is it all a marketing stunt, or do they really taste that good? We see them in the stores and they're expensive. So ー what is the true value?
Let's go to the Miyazaki Mango Auction and ask the buyer of the world's most expensive mango and the farmer.
The answer to WHY surprised me. It's not what I thought.
We not only learn about mangoes but Japanese culture.
Background:
Annually at auctions in Japan, the first blue fin tuna sells for over $1 million at New Year, melons in Yubari, Hokkaido sell for $30,000, and in Miyazaki, Mangoes sell for $5,000. How can a mango be worth so much? Is it the taste? The size? The smell? The color? The cultivar? All of the above? ー or just to get attention? ... or is it something more?
There is a deep respect for the farmers from the buyers and the stores that sell these luxury fruits. Of course buying a mango for so much money will get attention, but the motivation is completely different and I hope you can get a deeper understanding of not only mangoes but how Japan operates in business.

These high priced mangos are purchased by Companies to give to their prime clients as Gifts of appreciation for their business. $5,000 mango package not only strengthens client loyalty but can also generate hundreds of thousands of extra orders from the client.

[@theinnocent6303]

Its a win-win-win situation then. For the farmer, the client and the company. I never thought of this before. Every time I read about overprice fruits I thought the buyers were ridiculous and just a bunch of rich people wanted to show off their money.

[@drcommondrate12]

Nah only companies are benefited here. These companies buy fruits from farmers and they buy them by bulk thus their price will be lowered. And these companies will put these fruits in a package and will hype it and will earn 2 folds from the original price. Not to mention that some companies have their own plantation and their employees’ wage is constant thus making them ti profit more.

[@brangko]

Anti-Tumblrたんたん the $5000 is to be bought on auction dumbo

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Anti-Tumblrたんたん the $500,000 mango is sold at the store at auction price plus tax (¥540,000 total) Didn’t you see the photo of it? I put that in for that reason - they’re not making a profit on it. That’s not the purpose :) it’s a gift. A symbol. How can a work of art be valued at $1M? The value is arbitrary. Same as anything. But no one is profiting of the direct sale here except the agent (gets a %) and the farmer and since the farmer is selling thousands and thousands of mangoes, even $5000 is not a huge amount of money. It is when you see it as one mango but on the whole, it’s so small. Again, no consumer will pay more than $100 for one typically. I showed the same mangoes at the end for ¥8000 or ¥15,000. That’s $80 and $150.

Before you mock the absurdity of the Japanese keep in mind that diamonds are rocks and a crude painting of sunflowers sold for 40 million dollars in Europe

[@gordonbgraham]

Kobe B the guy who painted the sunflowers killed himself and whoever buys the rocks won’t outlive the existence of the rocks which will still be rocks long after they’ve died. The Belgians and Portuguese kill themselves at a higher rate than the Japanese, yet produce a wealth of fine affordable produce.

@@gordonbgraham you can't inherit a mango.

[@gordonbgraham]

@@1RNik No, but you can solidify a multi-million dollar business relationship by presenting one to a partner in a show of respect and appreciation.

[@gordonbgraham]

@@nicoleheron OK, I'll give you that. The point being the value is artificial. If you were to take the sunflower painting and the melons down the Amazon river and deep into the jungle where the Piraha tribe lives and presented them with a choice, the melons or the painting which do you think they would choose?

[@gordonbgraham]

@@nicoleheron It should be clear that I understand everything you've pointed out here. The value of the melons is imbued with the artificial meaning bestowed upon it by the culture, a culture in which perfection and precision are preeminent. The melons are never purchase for personal consumption. They are meant to be given as a show of respect and appreciation. They are seldom exchanged between individuals, but rather between companies. I've lived in Japan for 30 years. I understand the value of such things. Clearly, those in the comment section mocking the price know little about this custom in Japan. My comment was meant for them to have a little self-reflection about those things in their culture which have artificially inflated value. Cheers!

Outstanding report with excellent footage, production quality, in depth info and emotions. It's amazing to see the farmers getting so much appreciation for their super hard work. Energizing them to work even harder. Of course the winner of the auction and the Miyazaki Mango industry gets worldwide media coverage worth far more than $5000. So, it's definitely a win-win situation for everyone. Thanks so very much for the excellent, informative and also entertaining report, John and Kanae! One question: you showed a CU of a bee. Huge European tomato farms have started to rent bee and even bumblebee colonies and place them inside the greenhouses for pollination. Are the bees in Miyazaki free roaming and if so how do the Mango farmers get them inside their greenhouses?

[@LaMaitresse13]

Much respect to the farmer. Even if some of the mangoes might not be perfect, he still treated them with so much respect. I wish people would learn how to appreciate and respect things more, where others have put time and efforts in caring and making them. It hurts me when people go touchy touchy and squeezy squeezy much on things others have made. It doesn't matter if they buy after, but really, should learn how to respect things like the Japanese

Just go to the philippines because it is cheaper than Japan...1 mango is equally to 1 dollar in philippines

[@ryanrealms]

Parang parehas lang ng yellow mango natin ung red mango nila sa japan.

[@asamvav]

1 usd for 1 mango! You get a kilo of them in India at that price!

[@phdashmixchann.6952]

Special mangoes 😍

Greetings from Guatemala John, I am enjoying a mango right now, and seeing you from instagram live.

[@fishmarket22]

Farmers received praise for their hard work and sacrifice, I am very happy.

[@Chrysanthemum808]

Mangoes 🥭 and strawberries 🍓 are my favorite fruits, and my mouth was watering 🤤 watching this. But I am really glad they show so much respect to the farmers.

[@mothatrucker1]

Damnn 4k for a mango? 😱, I remember when i used to eat mangos all the time back in mexico 🇮🇹 and they where free i just cut them from the tree or pick them up from the ground 😂👍

O te echas la vuelta a una Huerta y son gratis por todos los q quieras

I'm just gonna assume everything in Japan is extremely expensive due to everything there being a work of art.

In 2015 i went to miyazaki. The place is very good

[@ar-sithf.austin3744]

You just ate a used honda civic... 😂

[@oleksandrzubchenko210]

So I can sell my car and buy a pair of mangos. Hmmm, that's a hard choice...

Oleksandr Zubchenko or grow then at the nuclear waste site in Japan. You got big mangos 🥭💯

In Japan it is quality over quantity for fruits. You do not want to give a cheap gift that would be disrespectful to your recipient. In Japan you give gifts for many special occasions.

[@NihongoFlashcards]

Never knew how much goes into growing a mango. Always, great respect for farmers. So much to learn even as a native. Thank you for the video!

[@pepelefew8105]

I’ve had the chance to visit Japan and try one of these mangos, ran me about 350 usd pretty good mango a little sweeter than most mangos I’ve tried In the states. I don’t think I’d do it again

[@brightorb1]

how could you pay 350 for a mango?

[@jessietagapan5555]

When u try visit Philippines go and try our variety of sweet 🥭

[@casteli1]

This is the first time I’ve come across a 5,000 dollar mango I always thought the Alphonso mango was the best mango no? Respect to the Japanese but I don’t think I’d ever spend 5,000 dollar on a mango mate no way

[@MrDzareel]

These mangos get more respect and care than most people on the planet. Also for 5k this mango better clean my house 3 times a day for atleast half a year

[@entertainmentpurposes7617]

I am so grateful just to be able to eat delicious cheap mango

[@sheilalhynne9813]

in my country (Phil.)we called that Apple Mango its common here.we can pick it up in our neighborhood. i amazed its so expensive in japan maybe the taste its different.

[@n3gi_]

Mangoes are common in India too and are very cheap too, like 1-2$ per KG.

[@mervinsfantastix2652]

Hahahah in mexico mangos are all over the trees they even fall to the ground

[@Thaumiel-115]

Yup they sure do

[@deepspire]

So basically the fruit companies buy a few token mangoes at highly inflated prices to keep the farmers motivated.

[@welcometodmitrysworld]

Everytime I see a video about Japan I am horrified of how much plastic packaging they use. Like they put literally everything in plastic.

[@stevel7192]

Japan has a lot of crazy cool stuff.
