The information is derived from a government-funded study performed earlier this year. Reuters acquired a copy of the study. The agency points out that poor weather has also caused crop losses in other mango-producing regions of Maharashtra.
Significant variations in daytime and nighttime temperatures during December and January interfered with flowering and fruit development, while unusual warmth in April and May, probably linked to the El Niño climate effect, harmed the fruit, stated an agricultural official from Devgad. El Niño is a climatic event that influences global weather patterns and can lead to severe weather situations. This year, experts anticipate a powerful El Niño, which is forecasted to adversely affect agricultural production in Asia, South America, and Africa.
According to Reuters, India is the top mango producer globally. Research and rating agency CRISIL projects that the nation generated 28 million metric tons of the fruit in 2024–2025.
