The objective of the project is to increase the contribution of the mango value chain to the socio-economic development of Senegal while contributing to poverty reduction. Mangos and mango products available for export will be increased, and new export markets will be identified. Actors in the mango value chain will be trained in Good Agricultural Practices, and storage and processing facilities will be updated.

Results

• The Terms of Reference for Good Agricultural Practices training have been prepared and the first sessions will be held in January 2016.

• 567 participants (producers, companies, harvesters and transporters) attended 10 training sessions covering harvesting methods, quality norms and techniques to combat mango pests that were held in July and August 2015.
