Market Impact

The severe crop failure of Alphonso David mangoes in India, primarily due to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation weather phenomenon, will lead to significant losses for the agricultural sector in India and particularly in India — Maharashtra. The concurrent slump in exports caused by the Iran war further exacerbates the situation, impacting logistics companies like Shreevali Agro and related businesses such as mango carton manufacturers like Sanjay Nare, potentially driving up prices for consumers in importing nations like the United Arab Emirates, the United States, the United Kingdom, Kuwait, and Qatar.

Event Summary

India, the world's largest mango grower, is experiencing a severe Alphonso David mango crop failure in India — Maharashtra, with losses estimated at 85% to 90%. This is primarily attributed to extreme weather conditions, including sharp temperature differences in December and January, and hotter-than-usual weather in April and May, likely due to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation weather phenomenon. The crop damage has coincided with a slump in exports caused by the Iran war, leading to doubled freight charges and cancellations for exporters like Shreevali Agro. This dual impact has severely affected farmers such as Komal Walke, and businesses across the supply chain, including mango carton manufacturers like Sanjay Nare, highlighting the economic reliance of the region on mangoes. The overall Indian mango crop was valued at $2.3 billion last year, with exports of fresh mangoes and pulp totaling $136 million in 2025, making this event a significant blow to the industry.
