Govt wants to quadruple mango exports by 2030

The country plans to expand the area under mango and production by 2030 to achieve exports of US$650mil (RM2.6bil) to take advantage of the growing global demand for the fruit.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Agro Processing and Market Development Authority, last year mango exports were worth US$180mil (RM743mil), or 1.15% of the global export share, with China accounting for nearly US$152mil (RM627mil).
