Mango trees are planted, and produced and the fruit is enjoyed by people in India, followed by China, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan, and Mexico.

Nowadays, mango trees are planted in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha and West Bengal, with fruits from each state having their own special tastes
Uttar Pradesh is the largest mango producing state in India.
With an annual production of around 2. 5 million metric tons, Uttar Pradesh accounts for approximately 25% of the country's total mango output
Second Andra Pradesh 18%, Then karnataka 14%
Why is mango called the king of fruits?
Mango not only offers superb taste, but is also the healthiest of fruits
One mango fruit offers more Vitamins A, B, C, E and K, and metal compounds (Mg, Cu, K), and more antioxidants than the other fruits.
While some of these health benefits are available in several other fruits, mango leads the rest since it has the highest levels of vitamins, minerals, and fibre content. Hence the kingdom.
