. This area is considered the primary center of origin and domestication for the mango. The fruit has been cultivated there for thousands of years, with evidence of cultivation in India dating back over 4,000 years
. There is some complexity in the domestication history, with genetic studies suggesting multiple domestication events possibly occurring both in South Asia and Southeast Asia, but the consensus remains that the mango originated in this broader South Asian region
. In summary, mangoes are indigenous to southern Asia, especially northeastern India, Bangladesh, and northwestern Myanmar.
