Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
mango production per Capita — Mango production per capita refers to the annual production quantity of mangoes allocated per person, measured in grams or kilograms per person per year. The indicator represents the total mango production of a country divided by its population size, providing a standardized measure to compare mango production levels across different countries and regions. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, showing annual mango production per capita values for the selected period.
The data includes the annual production of mangoes as an agricultural commodity, adjusted based on population size to calculate per capita production. It covers country-level mango production estimates derived from food and agricultural production datasets, with values reported for each year in the selected timeframe. The indicator includes mangoes produced for all purposes, including domestic consumption, processing, storage, and potential trade-related uses. Our World in Data compiles the data from agricultural production statistics, primarily based on Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) datasets, and applies population estimates to calculate per capita values. The measure enables comparison of mango production intensity between countries regardless of population differences.
The data excludes mango consumption, imports, exports, prices, market value, and trade flows. It does not represent the amount of mangoes available for individual consumption or actual dietary intake, as production may be used for multiple purposes or affected by post-harvest losses. The indicator also excludes other fruits and agricultural products outside mango production. Differences may occur due to revisions in agricultural statistics, population estimates, reporting methodologies, and data collection practices across countries. The measure does not directly capture productivity per hectare, farming efficiency, cultivation area, or economic value generated from mango production.
About this indicator
mango production per Capita — Mango production per capita refers to the annual production quantity of mangoes allocated per person, measured in grams or kilograms per person per year. The indicator represents the total mango production of a country divided by its population size, providing a standardized measure to compare mango production levels across different countries and regions. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, showing annual mango production per capita values for the selected period.
Validated Our World in Data data shows that mango production per capita in China increased from 2.01 kilograms per person in 2015 to 2.87 kilograms per person in 2024. During the early period from 2015 to 2018, production showed steady growth, rising from 2.01 kg to 2.22 kg per capita. This improvement was supported the expansion of mango cultivation areas in southern provinces, particularly regions with suitable tropical and subtropical climates.
Production continued to increase between 2019 and 2020, reaching 2.31 kg and 2.66 kg per capita, respectively. The growth reflected improved orchard management, rising agricultural investment, and the adoption of modern cultivation techniques aimed at improving yields and production efficiency. Strong domestic consumption demand also encouraged farmers to increase mango production capacity.
From 2021 to 2024, China maintained a stable upward trend, with production increasing from 2.66 kg per capita in 2021 to 2.87 kg per capita in 2024. During this period, improvements in agricultural infrastructure, better supply chain management, and increasing consumer preference for fresh fruits supported continued production growth. The gradual rise also indicates the strengthening role of mango cultivation within China’s broader horticulture sector.
In 2024, mango production per capita reached the highest level of the review period, highlighting continued expansion and productivity improvements. Although growth remained moderate compared with major mango-producing countries, the consistent increase reflects long-term development in domestic mango cultivation.
Overall, the dataset highlights the steady improvement of China’s mango production per capita and its growing importance within the agricultural sector. The trend is valuable for analysing production efficiency, regional agricultural development, consumption supply, and future opportunities in the tropical fruit market.
