A study on the Export Performance of Fresh Mangoes from India

Abstract

More than 90 countries in the world grow mangoes. Global production of the mango has doubled in the past thirty years. Asia, where the mango is native, is the largest mango producer, representing 77% of global production, followed by the Americas with 13% and Africa with 10%. On the Asian continent, India, where the mango is considered the king of fruits, ranks first among world’s mango producing countries accounting for about 50% of the world’s mango production, followed by China, Thailand, and Pakistan. In America, Mexico and Brazil are the are largest producers of mangos. The main African mango producing country is Nigeria followed by Egypt. The mango market has also grown considerably over the last 3 decades. Latin American countries have increased their supply to a great extent. Although its production is constantly increasing, international trade in mangoes represents only 3% of the volumes produced. Being delicate and easily perishable makes selling mangoes difficult. Attacks of mango fly larvae is also becoming a major problem. In this paper an attempt has been made to study the export performance of fresh mangoes from India and the various challenges faced by Indian exporters.
