Our work
Our work: Mango
Our purpose is to help African food processors grow. Here is a selection of our work: who supported it, what we did and what changed.
Mango arrives in a short season. Drying turns it into a product that keeps, travels and sells across the year, and it creates jobs close to the orchards. In Burkina Faso we coached eleven dried mango processors for CBI to reach European buyers. They earned EUR 1.1 million in additional EU and EFTA export revenue from 2021 to 2025, and 396 supported jobs were created since 2023. In Burkina DryMore we helped mango processors work beyond the season. Through SPVO (2025 to 2029) we work with dried mango companies on working conditions. In Angola we designed a roadmap for a dried pineapple and mango sector on the Lobito Corridor.
