There seems to be some good news for mango growers and lovers this season in many parts of Andhra Pradesh; after two off years, this year there might be an above average yield.
Due to delay in flowering of mango trees and erratic weather conditions, the quality and quantity of mango dropped in many parts of the state in the last season. Last year, the yield was only 6-8 tons per hectare as against the average 10-12 tons per hectare.
The Krishna, Annamayya, Chittoor and Vizianagaram districts in AP are home to one of the best mango varieties in the country. They top the export numbers for this fruit. AP claims to be one of the largest producers of mango in the country.
