Mango is the world’s most popular fruit and is referred to as the ‘King of Fruits’. Worldwide mangoes are grown in over 60 countries and half of the produced and traded tropical fruits are mango. Mangoes are excellent sources of vitamins A, C and fibre. Indian mangoes come in various shapes, sizes and colours with a wide variety of flavour, aroma and taste. India is one of the top mango producing countries of the world. Tamilnadu accounted for 6-7 per cent of the total Indian mango production. The mango pulp industry in Krishnagiri district of Tamilnadu is the second largest exporter of pulp in the country, generates between Rs. 400 to 500 crores of foreign exchange annually. The study was conducted in Krishnagiri district. Data were collected from both the mango growers and mango processors. Three hundred mango grower respondents and forty mango processors were identified and data were collected from them using well-structured and pre-tested interview schedules. More than half of mango growers were with medium level of adoption of recommended mango cultivation practices. With regard to the level of adoption of mango growers about the value addition and value added products in mango, more than four-fifth of the respondents had low level of adoption.

Mango growers, sustainable production technology, adoption and value addition.
