MANGOES PRODUCTION
Mangoes account for approximately fifty percent of all tropical fruits produced worldwide. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nationsestimates worldwide production of mangoes at more than 23 million tons in 2001. With 12 million tons produced    annually (2002-3 data), India accounts for almost half of the world production, followed by China (3 million tons), Pakistan (2.25 million tons), Mexico (1.5 million tons) and Thailand (1.35 million tons). The aggregate production of 10 countries is responsible for roughly 80% of the entire world mango production.     Area harvested of mangoes as of 2007 Polity Hectares Production in Tons India 2 143 000 13501000 China 445 000 3752000 Thailand 285 000 1800000 Indonesia 266 000 1620000 Pakistan 215 000 2250000 Mexico 200 000 2050000 Philippines 181 000 975000 Nigeria 126 500 734000 Brazil 89 800 1546000 Guinea 82 000 - Vietnam 52 000 370000 Bangladesh 51 000 - World Mango Production Flows  (in tons)
	In fact, the aggregated production of ten countries is responsible for roughly 80% of the entire world mango production. And most mango producing countries still have potential to increase their production. Europe is not very active in the production of mangos. The same applies to the United States of America, which only have marginal mango production (under 3,000 tons in 1999) in Florida and Hawaii. The Australian mango industry is highly innovative and based upon research. Both countries consider mangos a serious export industry and spend a lot of money for research and development of new and better varieties. All large mango producing countries have incommon that the vast majority of their mangos are consumed domestically. In 1999, only 2% of all worldwide produced mangos were exported. The remaining 98% remained with consumers in the producing countries. Processed mangos only account for very small percentages of consumed mangos (in the range of one and two percent). Most processing is done by the farmers and their families for their own consumption or for selling it on local retail markets. Only a small part is commercial processing and intended forinternational trade.
