| Summary: | In 2001 a pilot operation to export
mangoes from Mali was set up as part of the new operation
plan of the Agro-Processing Trading Project (Projet
d'Appui ?a Valorisation et Commercialisation des
Produits Agricoles - PAVCOPA), financed by the World Bank.
The objective of the project was to provide technical
support to the Agricultural Trading and Processing Promotion
Agency (Agence pour la Promotion des Fili?s Agricoles -
APROFA), a non-profit, government-funded agency responsible
for providing marketing opportunities for smallholders'
agricultural products. The pilot operation set an
unprecedented experience in establishing a multi-modal
shipment system connecting the Malian Southern town of
Sikasso to Abidjan and improving every step of the
supply-chain (from production to packaging) in order to
export mangoes grown by Malian smallholders to Northern
Europe. The operation was highly successful and led to its
expansion in the subsequent years. |
