Abstract
India is a leading mango producer, producing 21.80 million MT from 2.25 million ha, accounting for 45% of total fruit production in India. Though India is a major mango producer, exports are extremely limited due to quality factors. The main concern about mango export is poor quality standards, which limit India's share of the international market. Old and unproductive orchards with huge tree size and without proper canopy management is the major reason responsible for poor mango productivity and quality, especially the fruit size. Such orchards account for 35-40% of total area in mango growing belts.
