mango production per Capita — Mango production percapita refers to the annual production quantity of Mango allocated perperson, measured in grams or kilograms perperson peryear. The indicator represents total mango production divided by the population of a country or region, allowing comparison of mango production levels across different geographic areas regardless of population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country and regional-level time series, with values reported for each year in the selected period.
The series high was 0.00877 Kilogram in 2024 and the low 0.00601 Kilogram in 2015. The gap between the series high (2024) and low (2015) is 0.00275 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +16.8% in 2018. Within South America, Brazil has the highest value in 2024 at 11.30 Kilogram.
South America mango production percapita between 2015 and 2024 demonstrates a strong growth trend, supported by favourable climatic conditions, expanding mango cultivation, improved agricultural practices, and increasing regional production capacity. Validated Our World in Data data shows that mango production percapita in South America increased from 6.01 kilograms perperson in 2015 to 8.77 kilograms perperson in 2024. During the initial period from 2015 to 2018, production increased steadily from 6.01 kg to 7.69 kg percapita, reflecting improvements in mango cultivation and stronger production performance across major producing countries.
Brazil remained the leading contributor to South America’s mango production, with percapita production increasing from 6.94 kg in 2015 to 11.30 kg in 2024. This growth was supported by favourable growing conditions, expansion of commercial mango farming, improved orchard management, and strong domestic and export demand. Brazil’s established mango-producing regions contributed significantly to the overall regional increase.
Peru also maintained a strong position in regional mango production, with production rising from 11.49 kg percapita in 2015 to 9.81 kg in 2024, despite fluctuations during the period. Colombia showed significant growth, increasing from 6.78 kg to 10.09 kg percapita, supported by improved agricultural productivity and favourable cultivation conditions. Ecuador also recorded growth, increasing from 3.70 kg to 7.95 kg percapita during the review period.
Overall, the dataset highlights South America’s growing role in global mango production. The trend is valuable for analysing agricultural development, regional supply growth, production efficiency, export potential, and future opportunities within the mango industry.
