Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Indonesia produced 3.01 million tonnes of\nmangoes in 2025. Ironically, Indonesia\u2019s mango exports continue to\ndecline while imports have soared. Data from the Central Statistics\nAgency (BPS) shows that only around 3,111 tonnes of Indonesia\u2019s mango\nproduction were shipped to international markets, meaning less than 0.1%\nof national mango production ends up in the export market. For every\n1,000 kilogrammes of mangoes harvested in Indonesia, only about 1\nkilogramme is sold abroad. This figure presents a rather sharp contrast.\nIndonesia is one of the world\u2019s largest mango producers, but its role in\nglobal trade remains relatively small.<\/p>\n
Production Concentrated in Java<\/p>\n
Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows national mango\nproduction reached 3.01 million tonnes in 2025. Although this is down\n8.87% or around 293 thousand tonnes compared to 2024, the volume is\nstill considered large. Over the past five years, Indonesia\u2019s mango\nproduction has been relatively stable above 2.8 million tonnes.\nProduction had reached 3.30 million tonnes in 2024 before correcting\nagain last year. Indonesia\u2019s mango production is also concentrated on\nthe island of Java. East Java is the largest producer with a\ncontribution of 43.3% or around 1.30 million tonnes. Below it is Central\nJava with production of 545 thousand tonnes and West Java with 425\nthousand tonnes. These three provinces account for more than\nthree-quarters of national mango production. The high concentration of\nproduction means Indonesia\u2019s mango industry centres are practically\nstill located in Java. BPS recorded household mango consumption at\n156.68 thousand tonnes in 2025. This figure is indeed down 24.2%\ncompared to the previous year\u2019s 206.69 thousand tonnes. Household\nparticipation in consuming mangoes also still reached 4.28%. Beyond\nhousehold consumption, mangoes are also absorbed by traditional markets,\nmodern retail, and the processing industry. Therefore, most mangoes\nharvested in Indonesia never leave the domestic market.<\/p>\n
Exports Have Not Yet Recovered<\/p>\n
The export performance of Indonesian mangoes remains volatile. In\n2021, mango exports reached 3,111.95 tonnes. However, a year later the\nvolume plummeted to just 312.30 tonnes. Exports rose to 642.67 tonnes in\n2023 and 891.35 tonnes in 2024. But in 2025, exports fell again to 704\ntonnes. Compared to national production of 3.01 million tonnes, the\nexport share does not even reach 0.1%. For a country with production in\nthe millions of tonnes, this export volume is still very small.\nIndonesia\u2019s mango export markets are also still concentrated in a few\ncountries. The United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and Malaysia are the\nmain destinations for Indonesian mango exports. Geographic proximity and\nhigh demand for tropical fruit are among the factors supporting these\nmarkets. However, the scale of Indonesia\u2019s export markets is still far\nbelow the world\u2019s major exporting countries such as Mexico, Peru,\nThailand, or Brazil. In those countries, mangoes have become an export\ncommodity integrated with the logistics industry, cold chain, and\ninternational retail markets.<\/p>\n
Imports Actually Rise Sharply<\/p>\n
Amid weakening exports, Indonesia continues to import mangoes, and\nthe volume has increased quite sharply in the last two years. Mango\nimports were recorded at 531 tonnes in 2023. This figure rose to 1,159\ntonnes in 2024 and jumped to 2,766 tonnes in 2025. In other words,\nIndonesia\u2019s mango import volume in 2025 is nearly four times larger than\nits export volume. This condition indicates that large national\nproduction has not been fully able to meet certain market needs. Some\nimported mangoes enter to fulfil demand for specific varieties,\nindustrial needs, or supply outside the domestic harvest season. The\nimport value of mangoes in 2025 reached US$ 2.32 million, up 27.1% (US$\n153.92 thousand). The main country of origin for mango imports is France\nwith an import value reaching US$ 795.02 thousand (111.55 tonnes), India\nwith an import value reaching US$ 746.03 thousand (736.02 tonnes), and\nThailand with an import value reaching US$ 443.13 thousand (770.81\ntonnes).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/new-phenomenon-french-mangoes-begin-flooding-indonesia-1782226284", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
