Every year, India produces around 25 million tons of mangoes, which is about 45% of the total global mango production. More than 3 million hectares of land in India are used for growing mango trees.

Some varieties of mangoes grown in India include Dashehari mango, Kesar mango, and Alphonsus mango.
