Nuzvid, located in Andhra Pradesh, India, has long been a significant center for mango cultivation, producing some of the finest varieties in the country. However, the area dedicated to mango orchards has decreased from nearly 75,000 hectares in 2013 to about 58,000 hectares today, raising concerns about the region's agricultural future. Farmers attribute this decline to several factors, including pest infestations, changing weather patterns, and the aging of trees, which have diminished yields and profitability. Many growers, such as B Srinivasa Rao, express frustration over the challenges they face, noting that some trees are over 120 years old and less productive. In response to economic pressures, numerous farmers are shifting to more lucrative crops like oil palm, which offers attractive market prices and government support. This transition is altering the agricultural landscape of Nuzvid, prompting the Andhra Pradesh Horticulture Department to promote the planting of modern mango varieties to help revitalize the industry and preserve its heritage.
