OTC-Holland invests in organic mango sector in Burkina Faso

Organic distributor OTC-Holland will be constructing a new packing station with a mango sorting line in cooperation with Sanlé Sechage Export in Banfora. For several years now Sanlé has been the regular supplier of organic mangoes to OTC.

"The launch of this project is a logical step in the ambition we both share. We continuously want to book quality improvement. Due in part to the develoPPP program we can take this step together with OTC," director Yaya Koné and commercial manager Karim Soma said.

Supply development
Edward Out, Managing Director at OTC-Holland explained: "Together with our partner Sanlé in Burkina we saw the need to improve infrastructure and invest in specific knowledge. Together with their growers we will cooperate to improve the entire process, from cultivation to harvesting and from sorting methods to conditioning. We expect to extend our group of growers in the coming years and thus our export volumes to increase," Yaya Koné added.

MmmBIO
This year the mangoes are packed in "MmmBIO" boxes, which are specially designed for this project to be sustainable and environmentally friendly.
