The number three supplier to the European market, Côte d’Ivoire is also the number one African exporter country, far ahead of the other West African countries. This origin saw record exports in 2016 and 2017, with more than 30 000 tonnes shipped to Europe. Representing 4 % of the national GDP, the mango is the number three export fruit, behind the banana and pineapple. Generating more than 10 million euros of revenue in the northern zones where it is cultivated, the mango is a flagship product of Côte d’Ivoire. Exports more than doubled in ten years, and sale prices on the markets have improved. Yet there are still many logistical and phytosanitary challenges to tackle, in a still fragile industry.
