India produces more mango than any country on earth. However, in the global export market, it ranks fourth, behind the countries that grow India.
In a recent deep immersion, the Finfloww Advisory Firm has outlined the figures and irony: Mexico exports 22.5% of its mango and earns $ 575 million, and India exports a miserable 0.13%, pulling only $ 148 million despite the production of more than $ 26 million.
And here’s where it becomes more insane: Mexico started a large -scale mango cultivation only 35 years ago. India? More than 4000 years.
So what goes wrong?
According to Finfloww thread, it is a deadly blend of a bad cold chain infrastructure, fragmented farms, regulatory red tape and mango varieties that are poorly suited for global markets.
Before getting to the absence of modern storage and transport systems, up to 40% of mango harvesting in India. Meanwhile, countries such as Mexico built export machines – optimized varieties, coordinated agriculture and strong institutional support.
But great breakdowns can already be carried out. Finfloww emphasizes the Aamnagar project Mukesh Ambani in Jamnar, where Reliance Industries has quietly built the largest in Asia mango: 600 hectares, more than 130,000 trees and more than 200 varieties of mangoes.
Investing in advanced agricultural methods, world quality products and complete vertical integration, Reliance has become one of the leading mango exporters in Asia-no cost, of course.
Is it “the moment of Jio” in agriculture?
Finfloww believes it may be. Just like Ambani reinterpreted the Indian telecommunications industry, its Mango Venture can reset the lagging model of the country’s agri -xport. Mexico’s success was not by chance – it came from specialization (Tommy Atkins, Ataulf varieties), active regulation (through the Senosik) and the skill of the supply chain. The Mango Indian Market, Finfloww notes, is still stuck in the era of small farms, large -scale corruption and bureaucratic export obstacles.
And the time is over. The demand for global mango is flourishing, according to 2025, 65 million metric tons. The climate change redorates the growing conditions. India, with all its volume and heritage, risks to stay behind.
If the Ambani model turns out to be scalable, it can simply turn Jamnar into zero for a long -rethink mango in India.
