Unknown Apr 02, 2026 700 Views

India is the world’s largest producer of mangoes, yet it has historically lagged behind in global mango exports. Mukesh Ambani, through Reliance Industries’ visionary “Amnagar Project” in Jamnagar, is rewriting this narrative—transforming India into a global mango ex...

Key Highlights:

Asia’s Largest Mango Orchard: Reliance’s Dhirubhai Ambani Lakhibag Amrayee in Jamnagar spans 600 acres, hosting over 1.3 lakh (130,000+) mango trees and more than 200 varieties, including Indian favorites (Kesar, Alphonso, Amrapali) and international cultivars (Tommy Atkins, Kent, Maya).

World’s Biggest Mango Exporter: The orchard produces nearly 600 tonnes of premium mangoes annually, making Reliance the largest mango exporter in Asia, with a significant share shipped to international markets.

Tech-Driven Sustainability: Advanced agricultural technologies—drip irrigation, desalination, water harvesting, and simultaneous fertilization—enable mango cultivation in Jamnagar’s arid, saline environment. This has turned previously barren land into a green, productive belt.

Environmental Stewardship: The project was initiated to mitigate pollution from Reliance’s refinery, creating a sustainable green belt and reducing environmental impact. Reliance also distributes 100,000 saplings yearly to local farmers and offers training in modern agricultural practices.

Community and Economic Impact: Beyond exports, the initiative empowers local farmers, supports community development, and positions Jamnagar as a platform for long-term economic growth, innovation, and conservation efforts.

Ambani’s Vision for the Future: Mukesh Ambani’s approach demonstrates how industrial giants can drive agricultural innovation, sustainability, and global competitiveness—potentially making India not just the largest producer, but also the undisputed leader in mango exports.

“Jamnagar is not only the best oil refinery in the world, it has the biggest gigafactory, the biggest solar energy, and the world’s artificial intelligence infrastructure. Besides, the digital factory will also be in Jamnagar… a platform for growth for the next many decades.”

With the Amnagar Project, Mukesh Ambani is not just cultivating mangoes—he’s cultivating a new era for Indian agriculture on the world stage.
