The Telangana state government is planning to promote high-density and ultra high-density mango plantations for better quality and higher quantity of the fruit production with an eye on huge potential for Indian mango exports to several countries, including the US.

According to Agriculture Production Commissioner C. Parthasarathi, high-density plantation in mango and other fruit crops is already being adopted by countries such as Israel, Spain, Italy, China, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand and others for about 25 years now and reaping rich dividends with higher share of exports compared to India. “They have higher exports in spite of the fact that India has the highest area under mango plantations and production, but meagre exports,” he stated.

The Telangana climate offers a huge potential for mango cultivation in the State with conducive conditions and suitable soils. In the backdrop of the Government of India’s decision to promote exports of agriculture products and formulation of an agriculture export policy with an objective to increase the exports from the present US$ 30 billion to US$ 100 billion by 2022, the Horticulture Department of Telangana has also decided to encourage farmers to take up mango cultivation on a large-scale for better income.

Mango exports from the country in 2016-17 were recorded at US$ 67.25 million and about one-fifth of it come from the Telugu States.
