Fruits

Abstract

India has consistently been the world’s largest producer of mangoes, contributing to nearly half of global production. In 2022, India produced 26.3 million tons (Mt) of mangoes, maintaining its dominant position. Mango cultivation in India thrives due to its tropical climate and large agricultural areas, with major producing states like Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. Over the past decades, production has steadily increased, supported by improved farming practices and infrastructure. Mangoes are deeply integrated into Indian culture, with popular varieties like Alphonso, Dasheri, and Kesar. Globally, demand for Indian mangoes has grown, boosting exports to markets such as the Middle East, Europe, and the US.

Mango production (worldwide)

From 1961 to 2022, India’s mango production has shown significant growth, reaching a peak of 26.3 Mt in 2022, which is 100% of its highest recorded output. India has consistently led global mango production, contributing about 40-50% of the world’s supply. This steady rise reflects advancements in agricultural techniques, expansion of cultivated areas, and favorable climate conditions. Major producing regions include Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. Despite challenges like unpredictable weather and pest infestations, India’s mango industry continues to thrive, with increased domestic demand and growing export markets, especially in the Middle East, Europe, and the US.
