Mango farmers in Andhra Pradesh (AP) in southeast India are coping with uncompetitive prices <\/u><\/a>due to a post-monsoon surplus and low procurement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Hindustani Times<\/u><\/a> on July 23, 2025, the Amaravati farmers\u2019 consortium was blaming pulp industries for limiting purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bestselling mango varietal Totapuri<\/em> is currently in ample supply but is garnering only minimal industrial procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding which, a successful 2024-25 production season fruited a bountiful mango crop for most varieties including Totapuri,<\/em> a bearish factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AP\u2019s 2024-25 production hit 150,000 tonnes, above 2023-24\u2019s 90,000 tonnes. With the excess, local farmers can barely scratch the minimum support price (msp) of 4 rupees ($0.046) a kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why the Amaravanti has brought the matter to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TDP)-linked government, to guarantee the support price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of State for Rural Development states it has already distributed millions of rupees to facilitate the 4-rupee\/kg msp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, farmers in AP feel neglected vis-\u00e1-vis those in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in southwest and southeast India, accordingly. The mango msps in the two states are at 18 and 5 rupees (0.21-0.058)\/kg, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Branching out to Other Fruits<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, smallholder farmers in the Chandragiri Mandal district in AP are trialling new fruits such as coconut, reports Andhrajyothy news<\/u><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to growers that include Dhanamajaya Naidu, a Chandragiri Mandal resident with seven mango acres, mangoes are currently productive but pest-infested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason for switching is domestic price unreliability unless there is a premium fresh mango export base, like in Odisha<\/u><\/a>, eastern India. Sometimes, however, even home prices rally to 12 rupees ($0.14) a kg at the farm-gate within AP itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulp industries, which receive the bulk for processing, operate on waitlists which can be detrimental to fruit quality. Besides, factories forgo processing mango drinks with over 10% pulp concentration to avoid a 28% tax by the Union Government.  And as the statistics below reveal, the story was different in the most flourishing mango years in Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AP [India] Mango <\/strong>Statistics <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the biggest mango-producing nation globally with a 41% share, India has dubbed mango \u201cthe king of fruits.\u201d This is for a reason: it fuels a vast national pulp drink industry and exports. Supporting with supplies are major production states, such as Andhra Pradesh (AP) with 3.5 million tonnes<\/u><\/a> in annual output, just behind Uttar Pradesh. AP\u2019s key mango varieties include Totapuri, Alphonso <\/em>and Raspuri. <\/em>Below is a comparative look at both acreage<\/u><\/a> and production<\/u><\/a> in leading states, including AP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

State<\/strong><\/td>Production [Average tonnes, 2022]<\/strong><\/td>Acreage in ha, 2022<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Uttar Pradesh<\/td>4,551,230<\/td>590,000 [23% share)<\/td><\/tr>
Andhra Pradesh<\/td>3,500,000<\/td>351,000 [18% share]<\/td><\/tr>
Bihar<\/td>1,500,000<\/td>248,000 [12% share]<\/td><\/tr>
Karnataka<\/td>1,200,000<\/td>277,000. [14% share]<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How<\/strong> good are mango prices in Andhra Pradesh versus Karnataka?<\/strong> <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although AP betters Karnataka in mango yields and acreage, it trails its rival in prices. While AP\u2019s farmers enjoyed  a mid-2025 minimum support price of 4 rupees ($0.046)\/kg,  Karnataka\u2019s bagged 18 rupees<\/u><\/a> (0.21)\/kg.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
