Falling to a series low
Nigeria mango production per Capita moved from 4.67 Kilogram in 2015 to 4.13 Kilogram in 2024 (−11.6%), an average of −1.4% a year. The series high was 4.67 Kilogram in 2015 and the low 4.13 Kilogram in 2024.
What Nigeria mango production per Capita shows
Nigeria mango production per Capita was 4.13 Kilogram in 2024, down 2.1% on 2023. Nigeria mango production per capita between 2015 and 2024 reflects a gradual declining trend, influenced by agricultural challenges, variations in production conditions, limited productivity improvements, and changing cultivation patterns. Validated Our World in Data data shows that mango production per capita in Nigeria decreased from 4.67 kilograms per person in 2015 to 4.13 kilograms per person in 2024.
A 11.6% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2024) is 0.543 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −2.8% in 2022.
Ranks 20 of 31 countries covered
Among the 31 countries in this dataset, Nigeria ranks 20 for 2024, behind Mali (26.00 Kilogram) and Thailand (20.74 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 7.62 Kilogram, so Nigeria is below it.

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.
During the initial period from 2015 to 2018, production declined steadily from 4.67 kg to 4.55 kg per capita. This reduction reflected variations in annual harvest output, farming challenges, and factors affecting mango cultivation efficiency.
Between 2019 and 2021, mango production per capita continued to decline, decreasing from 4.52 kg in 2019 to 4.41 kg in 2021. The downward trend was influenced by climate variability, agricultural resource limitations, and challenges related to farm productivity. Despite these challenges, mango cultivation remained an important part of Nigeria’s agricultural sector due to favourable tropical conditions and strong domestic demand for fresh fruits.
From 2022 to 2024, production continued its gradual decline, decreasing from 4.29 kg per capita in 2022 to 4.13 kg in 2024. The reduction indicates ongoing challenges in maintaining production growth, including fluctuations in agricultural output, limited adoption of advanced farming practices, and infrastructure constraints affecting the fruit supply chain.
In 2024, Nigeria’s mango production per capita remained relatively stable compared with recent years but was below the level recorded in 2015. The trend highlights the need for improvements in cultivation efficiency, post-harvest management, and agricultural investment to enhance future production capacity.
Overall, the dataset highlights the gradual decline in Nigeria’s mango production per capita and the factors influencing agricultural performance. The trend is valuable for analysing production challenges, supply conditions, productivity improvements, market potential, and future opportunities within Nigeria’s mango industry.
