Mango product diversification and waste utilization

Abstract

The global processed mango products market size in 2019 was estimated to be USD 17.4 billion and projected to register a CAGR of 6.4% during the next year. India though, leader in mango production, is far behind in global trade of the fruit. Mexico is the leading supplier of mango and its products globally with a share of 16%, while India's share is only 9%. In India, Chittoor and Krishnagiri are the main processing hubs of mango. In Chittoor, there are about 67 registered units in the mango pulp industry, of which 55 were operational in 2018. Most mangoes produced in Chittoor are processed into pulp, which accounts for about 70% of the region's total pulp production. The main varieties Totapuri and Alphonso are processed into aseptic mango pulp or pulp concentrate. The total number of mango pulp/puree industries in India are about 100 in which about 4% industries are large scale, 20% medium and 76% small scale running in India. India produces about 0.5 million tonne of mango pulp and exports about 10.1% of it.
