Mango, often called the "King of Fruits," is one of the most loved tropical fruits in the world. Known for its rich aroma, sweet taste, and juicy texture, mango is packed with vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. It supports immunity, eye health, and digestion, making it not only delicious but also highly nutritious.

Kerala’s warm and humid climate is ideal for mango cultivation, and several varieties thrive well in the region. Among them, Kotturkonam, a local favorite from Thiruvananthapuram, stands out for its exceptional sweetness and aroma. Mallika, a hybrid variety of Neelum and Dashehari, is popular for its high yield, fiberless flesh, and long shelf life, making it suitable for both table use and commercial trade. DilipSahnt (often referred to as Dilpasand) is known for its large size, bright yellow color, and rich flavor.

With proper orchard management and grafting techniques, mango farming using these premium varieties can offer great returns. There is strong demand in both domestic and export markets, making mango cultivation a sustainable and profitable agri-business opportunity in Kerala
