Mangoes are Mali's leading export fruit with a potential production of 575,000 tons, of which 200,000 tons can be sold or used in food products. In 2016, it exported 40,457 tons of fresh mangoes. Turnover in this field in 2016, all sectors together (food products / export and others), came to approximately 15 billion Fcfa, of which 11 billion was for export of fresh mangoes. The Kamalé Agropolis of the SCS-Mali Company is a mango production, exportation, and packaging project. The products from its commercial orchard are certified, labelled and comply with production standards; creating high added value.
Today, on the project site, the activities developed and financed by SCS International are:
PROJECT IMPLEMENTED
Stakes:
The exportation and conversion of mangoes has led to a major upswing in demand for fresh products which is not, as yet, satisfied for reasons of orchard access (rural tracks), with low orchard yield and few of the varieties requested in relation to exportable potential;
The challenge is to increase the quantities exported through reconversion and the creation of industrial orchards. The orchard can be improved by densification, renewal of plantations and introduction of varieties that are more suitable for marketing fresh and/or processing (juice, purée, concentrate, jam, etc.). Incidentally, the country has enormous potential in terms of land that is suitable for planting industrial orchards. The setting up of these commercial orchards also targets the development of a private enterprise sector in agro-food, and also high performance agro industries that will make a major contribution to sustainable economic growth and a reduction in rural poverty.
Goals:
Maximising and controlling procurement in mangoes in order to meet increasing demand.
The mission of this operation will be:
