A Central Australian mango farmer say this year's crops have been the lowest he's ever seen.
Ti Tree mango farmer John Crayford says his crop is about 15 tonnes lighter - or 40 per cent less - than last year.
He says it's the first time he'd had such a low number, but he's not too concerned because he sells locally and always has an oversupply.
It's a lighter crop, but because it's a lighter crop the mangoes have got bigger, he says.
He says Darwin and Kununurra had similar low producing crops and blamed cold weather in late August for the drop in produce.
