This paper focuses on ‘An Analysis of production and productivity of mango during Pre WTO (1987–95), Post-WTO (1995–2014) and Over the Period of time (1987–2014). The present study was conducted using statistical tools of Compound Annual Growth rate and annual Average Growth rate to evaluate the area, Production and Poductivity of mango in top Mango producing states in India. CAGR and AAGR has decreased in area of mango cultivation. Mango production and productivity rate has increased in India but top mango producing statesdepict a different picture (Table: 6). Results show that WTOhas positively affected the mango trading but there is variation in production and productivity patterns in different states of India. This is due to different agricultural systems employed in India. Some states use the Modern technology while the other states still follow the traditional methods. The weather condition also affects the variation in mango production. It is found that the Growth rate has highly increased in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Tamilnadu while the Growth rate of production has highly increased in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka.
