Top 10 Destinations For Indian Mango Exports 

1. United States of America

At the very top of the major destinations for Indian mango exports is the United States of America. In fact, the land known for its apple pies and burgers is now a major importer of fresh Indian mangoes. 

Plus, the demand for varieties like Alphonso, Banganapalli and Langra mangoes has surged due to a growing Indian population in the country. 

But doesn’t the USA have its own locally grown mango variants? If that’s the case, why should it rely on India significantly for mangoes? Well, unlike their local mangoes, such as Kent, Haden or Tommy Atkins, Indian mangoes are relatively sweeter, smoother, and rich in taste and aroma. 

With these factors in play, Indian mangoes are a seasonal staple found across many grocery conglomerates across the country. But they do come with a premium price. Despite this, many Indians across the country are willing to take the load on their pockets to get a refreshing taste of home. 

Plus, did you know that the USA imported $4,397,842.47 worth of Alphonso mangoes in 2024-25?

All in all, it’s quite clear that the USA has embraced the king of fruits with open arms due to its growing love for tropical flavours.

2. United Kingdom

Not far behind the United States of America is the United Kingdom. In fact, if there’s one fruit that unites this Indian nostalgia with the British summer, it’s mangoes. Plus, the mango exchange between both countries signifies a cultural bridge.

What’s more is that, like the United States of America, mangoes in the UK are a high-value and premium fruit, especially the Kesar and Alphonso varieties. Driven by its widespread South Asian diaspora, Indian mangoes have a soft spot in the British hearts due to their unparalleled flavour and aroma.

The only downside? They're not as cheap as they are at home. But Indian mangoes are definitely a fruit that the UK people like to splurge on, showcasing that the fruit is definitely in demand within the nation.

What's more is that while the UK imported several varieties of Indian mangoes, Langra mangoes accounted for $33,618.07 in 2024-25.

Based on this, it can be said without a doubt that Indian mangoes have earned their royal status.

3. United Arab Emirates

Moving down the list of key destinations for Indian mango exports is the United Arab Emirates. In fact, Indian mangoes, in the UAE, are often gifted during Eid and Ramadan and are often a staple in many Emirati households, thanks to their flavour, sweetness and aroma. 

Not to mention, Dubai's Deira Fruit Market is home to some of the finest types of Indian mangoes, including fresh Totapuri, Alphonso and Dasheri. The real question lies in why this fruit is beloved by the nation. Well, the main reason is the convenient trade route between both nations. Situated in proximity to each other, India and the United Arab Emirates can import and export quite a bit faster than compared to other countries. 

And the numbers are proof of this! In fact, the United Arab Emirates imported $26,921.92 of Totapuri mangoes from India during 2024-25. 

In short, Indian mangoes are a key part of the food landscape of the UAE.

4. Kuwait

Holding a solid position as one of the key destinations for Indian mango exports is Kuwait.

Not to mention, mangoes are heavily used to combine flavours from around the world, thanks to their sweet, tangy taste and aroma.
