Mango production in India, the leading producer and consumer of the fruit, is projected to account for about 36 million tonnes (mt) in 2034, or 42 per cent of global production, destined largely for local, informal markets, according to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2025-2034. The country’s per capita consumption is projected to increase by 1.2 per cent per annum over the outlook period, reaching 23.1 kg.
At the same time, the report said India’s banana output is expected to reach 45 mt by 2034. Its per capita consumption is projected to 28.1 kg in 2034 — up from 24.9 kg in the base period.
Global production of mangoes, mangosteens and guavas is projected to increase at 2.8 per cent per annum, to reach 86 mt by 2034 from 62 mt in the base period. Per the report, growth in mango production will be influenced by income-driven growth in demand in producing countries, along with population dynamics.
