Surge in mango processing in Burkina Faso
West Africa has an oversupply of mangoes that far exceeds the capacity of its local market, while less than 20% of annual production is leaving the country. More than half of the mango production simply rots and is lost. Therefore, processing and producing mango by-products emerges as an essential and promising strategy, with the first steps having already been successfully taken. This is according to Aziz Ndiaye, founder of ANEP Company.
Ndiaye describes a new, fast-growing industry: “The strategy to develop mango processing responds to a large unused supply, as well as a growing market. West African countries have limited export capacity due to various reasons related to logistics, global competition, and destination market standards. As a result, significant volumes are wasted each year. However, the processing industry has recently gained momentum and is growing rapidly in several countries, particularly Burkina Faso.”
