Fresh export mango from Côte d'Ivoire
A West African season

An early window into the European market.

Côte d'Ivoire is one of West Africa's leading mango exporters, with a harvest window that opens the European season from around March to June. ORION & OWA Associates Ltd coordinates fresh mango from GlobalG.A.P.-aligned orchards through an integrated operator model — orchard, packing house and cold chain — focused on calibre consistency, phytosanitary compliance and reliable weekly volumes.
