1. Mangoes trade volume globally reached 2.6 Million MTs, valued at 3.7 Billion USD
2. Africa's international mangoes trade accounts to only about 4.0% of the global trade, and favouring exports than imports
3. That is, Africa's total exports for Mangoes averaged 106,000 MTs, compared to imports which averaged 30,500 MTs
4. Globally, Mexico [emoji1166] is the leader in exports of mangoes followed by Thailand [emoji1242]
5. On the other hand, USA [emoji631] is the leading importer by volume followed by Netherlands [emoji1179] and then Germany [emoji629]
6. Unfortunately, Africa continues to record high Post-Harvest Loss (PHL) for agricultural products
7. Specific to mangoes, post-harvest loss remains high, with countries such as Malawi [emoji1156] recording a PHL of up to 60%
8. That is, of every 10 mangoes harvested in Malawi, nearly 6 of them get lost; either before or after harvesting, during transport or even at the market
9. Kenya [emoji1139] too experiences high PHL, with KARLO estimating a high of 40%-50%
