Lower over the period
UAE 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 UAE mango production per Capita shows
UAE mango production per Capita was 0.463 Kilogram in 2024, up 7.3% on 2023. UAE mango production per capita between 2015 and 2024 reflects a highly fluctuating trend, influenced by climatic limitations, agricultural conditions, and the country’s reliance on controlled farming systems for tropical fruit cultivation. Validated Our World in Data data shows that mango production per capita in the UAE decreased 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 29 of 31 countries covered
Among the 31 countries in this dataset, UAE ranks 29 for 2024, behind Mali (26.00 Kilogram) and Thailand (20.74 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 7.62 Kilogram, so UAE 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 gradually from 1,405 grams to 1,244 grams per capita, reflecting challenges associated with maintaining tropical fruit production in an arid environment.
A notable reduction occurred in 2019, when mango production per capita decreased to 870 grams, followed by a temporary recovery in 2020, reaching 986 grams per capita. This improvement reflected better agricultural management, favourable production conditions, and continued efforts to enhance domestic fruit cultivation. However, production experienced another significant decline between 2021 and 2023, falling from 467 grams to 431 grams per capita. The decrease was influenced by environmental constraints, limited agricultural land availability, and the challenges of expanding mango cultivation under desert conditions.
In 2024, production showed a slight recovery to 463 grams per capita, indicating early stabilization after several years of decline. Although the production level remained significantly below the 2015 baseline, the improvement reflects continued efforts toward agricultural diversification and domestic food production.
Overall, the dataset highlights the challenges and gradual adaptation of UAE mango production per capita within a resource-constrained agricultural environment. The trend is valuable for analysing domestic horticulture development, production efficiency, food security initiatives, and the role of advanced agricultural technologies in supporting tropical fruit cultivation in arid regions.
