The Presidency of Madras is reputed to be one of the leading producing centres of mangoes and sweet oranges. According to the latest figures (2) the province claims an area of 244,945 acres under mangoes with a marketable production of 20,000,000 railway maunds of fresh fruits, of which 400,000 railway maunds are exported annually to other parts of India. Although the sweet oranges comprising mainly of two commercial varieties viz., the Sathgudi and Batavian account to-gether at present for a production of 195,000 railway maunds, about 65% of the orchards under these two varieties are yet young and have not reached the bearing stage.
