Queensland's mango industry generates a significant proportion of Australia 's fresh mango production. In the 2004-2005 season, Queensland produced over 33 000 tonnes of mangoes, with a gross value of $75 million.

Production regions extend from Cooktown in the north, west to Georgetown and south to the Gatton and Esk districts. Growing areas include the Atherton Tableland, Burdekin, Bowen, Rockhampton, and some drier, southern areas around the Coastal Burnett, Gympie and the Sunshine Coast.

Kensington Pride is the main variety grown and makes up 80% of current plantings and 90% of the fruit marketed. Due to its unique flavour, this variety dominates the Australian industry but is not grown in any other country. It is sensitive to cold and very susceptible to diseases and skin disorders.

The Queensland mango harvest begins in north Queensland in late October and ends in southern areas in early April. Most of the fruit is sold in the main domestic markets of Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide but about 10% is exported, mainly to Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong. Quarantine restrictions for mango seed weevil exclude fresh Queensland mangoes from Western Australia.
