India is the biggest producer of mangoes on Earth. Still it’s on the fourth rank behind countries that grow a fraction of what India does. According to advisory firm FinFloww which cited the numbers according to which Mexico exports 22.5% of its mangoes and earns $575 million while India exports only 0.13% and gets only $148 million although it produces over 26 million tons annually.
This is because 40% of India’s mango harvest rots due to a lack of modern storage and transportation systems. But Mexico has built export machines and coordinated farming with the help of strong institutional support.
Mexico started mango cultivation only 35 years ago. Whereas India might have started it around 4000 years ago.
How is Mexico Threat To India’s Mango Business?
According to FinFlowws thread on X Mexico has a strong cold chain system that keeps mangoes fresh during transit while India faces challenges due to limited cold storage and outdated technology. It added ‘’Without proper cold chain management 25-40% of Indian mangoes perish before reaching consumers. Thats nearly half our potential exports rotting away because we havent invested enough in modern preservation methods.’’
How Can Mukesh Ambani Compete With It?
FinFloww highlights Mukesh Ambani is turning Jamnagar into “Aamnagar”! Reliance Industries transformed barren land in Jamnagar into a thriving 600-acre mango orchard with 130000 trees and 200+ varieties.

Advanced farming techniques
Cultivation of both Indian and international varieties

FinFloww also thinks it might be ‘Jio Moment’ for Ambani wherein he transformed India’s telecom industry. Similarly his mango farm can be Indias agri-export model.
