Agriculture & Farming (Q&A)

Answer:

Mango is known as the ‘King of Fruits’ in the World. Mango is a fleshy stone fruit; indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. There are almost 1000 varieties of mangoes around the world. ‘Mangifera indica’ – the ‘Common Mango’ or ‘Indian Mango’ – is the only mango tree commonly cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions and its fruit is distributed essentially world-wide. The mango, in its original wild form, originated in the forests of Assam in north-east India and Myanmar (Burma). The mango is the national fruit of India, Pakistan and the Philippines. It is also the ‘National Tree of Bangladesh’. In Australia, mangoes are considered to be a symbol of summer. Mangoes account for approximately half of all tropical fruits produced worldwide. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates worldwide production at nearly 35,000,000 tonnes (39,000,000 short tons) in 2009. The aggregate production of the top 10 countries is responsible for roughly 80% of worldwide production.
