Thanks
to the efficient technical assistance provided by an IBI Tropical
and Sub-tropical Fruits expert, Ghanaian mango farmers assisted
by the Ghana Trade and Investment Program for a Competitive Economy
(TIPCEE) Project exported 260 tons of mangos (13 containers) to
Europe with good results. This remarkable result represents a doubling
of Ghana's mango exports compared to 1996-2006 data with exports
ranging from 120 to 240 tons of mangos per year. It augurs well
for growers assisted by the Ghana/TIPCEE Project, who have demonstrated
their ability to apply good mango cultivation and post-harvest practices,
and export a product that meets stringent international quality
standards, including "EurepGAP Fruit and Vegetables" certification
criteria.
