In India, top 10 mango productions states are Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Telangana, West Bengal, Orissa, and Maharashtra. Uttar Pradesh ranks first in mango production with a share of 20.89 % and highest productivity.

Productivity Profitability of Mango: India’s export competitiveness of mango is vulnerable due to low productivity profitability which need to be improve in order surge share in export market. India’s present mango productivity is 6.50 tones/ha which is quite low as compare to highest mango productivity in the world. If India increases productivity of Mangos up to 15.83 tones/ha which is highest in the world then there will be added production of 6544960 tons which can be exported with competitive prices in international market.

Conclusion: In India domestic supply of Mango is largely driven by increase in cultivation area rather than improvement in productivity (Kavita Balyan et.al. 2015). India’s present mango productivity is 6.50 tones/ha which is quite low as compare to highest mango productivity in the world. If India increases productivity of Mangos up to 83 tones/ha which is highest in the world then there will be added production of 6544960 tons which can be exported with competitive prices in international market. China is the competitor for mango export in Indonesia market however, China get nil duty access, whereas, India have been charged 5% import duty. It made impact on price competitiveness of mango in Indonesia market. Therefore, government of India may have trade negotiations with Indonesia government and try to get nil duty access like China in Indonesia Mango Export Market. Egypt is important export market for Indian mango however due to lack of any trade agreement with respect of Mango export, India have been charged tremendous import duty. Its heavy burden on export price. India does not have tariff disadvantages in Egypt Mango export market over other competitors. However, India may negotiate import duty with Egypt government to bring down to acceptable limit
