Lower over the period
U.S. mango production per Capita moved from 1.41 Kilogram in 2015 to 0.463 Kilogram in 2024 (−67%), an average of −11.6% a year. The series high was 1.41 Kilogram in 2015 and the low 0.431 Kilogram in 2023.
What U.S. mango production per Capita shows
U.S. mango production per Capita was 0.463 Kilogram in 2024, up 7.3% on 2023. U.S. mango production per capita between 2015 and 2024 reflects a declining production trend, influenced by climatic limitations, cultivation patterns, and the country’s reliance on specialized tropical fruit-growing regions. Validated Our World in Data data shows that mango production per capita in the U.S. declined from 1,405 grams per person in 2015 to 463 grams per person in 2024.
A 69.3% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2023) is 0.974 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −52.6% in 2021.
Ranks 28 of 31 countries covered
Among the 31 countries in this dataset, U.S. ranks 28 for 2024, behind Mali (26.00 Kilogram) and Thailand (20.74 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 7.62 Kilogram, so U.S. 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 remained relatively stable, decreasing gradually from 1,405 grams to 1,244 grams per capita. This period reflected consistent domestic mango cultivation, particularly in warmer agricultural regions such as Florida, California, and Hawaii, supported by established farming practices and consumer demand for fresh tropical fruits.
A significant decline occurred in 2019, when mango production per capita dropped to 870 grams, indicating reduced domestic output due to production challenges, weather-related impacts, and fluctuations in cultivated area. Production showed a temporary recovery in 2020, increasing to 986 grams per capita, supported by improved agricultural conditions and stabilization of domestic supply.
However, a sharper decline was observed between 2021 and 2023, with production falling from 467 grams per capita in 2021 to 431 grams per capita in 2023. This reduction reflects ongoing challenges associated with tropical fruit cultivation in the U.S., including limited suitable growing regions, climate variability, and competition from imported mango supplies. In 2024, production slightly recovered to 463 grams per capita, suggesting early signs of stabilization but remaining significantly below 2015 levels.
Overall, the dataset highlights the changing dynamics of U.S. mango production per capita and the structural limitations affecting domestic cultivation. The trend is valuable for analyzing agricultural productivity, evaluating supply availability, understanding import dependency, and forecasting future developments in the U.S. tropical fruit market.
