Abstract: India is native to mango and is also the largest producer of mangoes with 44.14 per cent of the total world
production. The export of fresh mangoes has increased from ` 35.2 crores in 1991-92 to `162 crores in 2010-11. The paper
attempts to quantify the changing structure of Indian mango exports. Data for analysis was taken for a period of 10 years
from 2001-02 to 2010-11. Compound growth rate (CGR) was used for analyzing the growth in mango production, area,
yield, export quantity and export value over the years. The markov chain analysis was attempted through linear programming
method to assess the transition probabilities for the major mango markets. The major Indian mango export markets were
categorized as stable market (Bangladesh, U.K, U.A.E) and unstable markets (Nepal, Saudi Arabia) based on the magnitude
of transition probabilities. The major export markets for Indian mangoes are Bangladesh (46.22 %), U.A.E (33.26 %), Nepal
(6.06 %), Saudi Arabia (3.63 %) and UK (3.06 %). The increasing share of other countries clearly shows the need to explore
and exploit the market potential of other countries. Efforts are also needed to improve the efficiency of production and
quality in order to stabilize the markets and also to make the product acceptable and price competitive in other importing
countries.
Key words: Compound growth rate, Direction of trade, Markov chain, Structural change

Where,
Ejt = exports from India to the jth country in the year t
Eit-1 = exports of ith country during the year t-1
Pi j = the probability that exports will shift from ith
country to jth country
e jt = the error term which is statistically independent
of Eit-1
