Why are we being so negative? India can produce ten times more mangoes than what we produce right now. Mango trees are very hardy and need to be watered only for the first 3-5 years and then do not require much water.They also grow relatively well on rocky soil. India is such a big country and mangoes can grow all over South & West Indiaand there are nearly a thousand varieties. Also so much of our land lies fallow and unutilised because of poor irrigation facilities. So the Govt should encourage farmers and village people to plant more mango trees. Let us grab this opportunity with both hands. And I agree that the farmers should profit and not just the traders. Co-operatives is a possible answer
