Online panel discussion: Opportunities in dried mangoes
The demand for dried mango is increasing in Europe. This is due to its exotic flavour, the popularity of healthy snacking, new products like fruit bars and veganism.
During this webinar, we will take a closer look at attractive markets such as:
- The United Kingdom;
- Germany;
- France;
- The Netherlands;
- Switzerland; and
- Italy.
We will also update you on the most recent legal and buyer requirements. Sustainable sourcing of mangoes is a major topic right now in the European market.
We will share insights into what is happening with leading suppliers such as Burkina Faso, Ghana and South Africa. And we will look at what is happening with new suppliers such as the Philippines.
