Tamil Nadu: A Favorable Season for White Guava

Tamil Nadu has emerged as a strong contributor to white guava production this year, thanks to an increase in guava growers and favorable climatic conditions.

Final Outlook for 2025

The overall white guava crop condition remains moderate, with Tamil Nadu leading in both quality and availability.

As the season progresses, factors such as rainfall and temperature fluctuations will determine the final outcome of the upcoming harvest.
