Start of the 2021 mango season in Togo – a reminder of the mango dossier

On 7 May, in collaboration with the Direction de la Protection des Végétaux du Togo (DPV), COLEACP organised a virtual workshop for the start of the 2021 mango campaign.

The workshop brought together 24 participants from horticultural companies and organisations (including the DPV, Direction des Filières Végétales, GIZ/ProDRA, Interprofession mango), aiming to remind exporters of the main points of the mango dossier before the start of the 2021 campaign in Togo. Discussions focused on the key points of the dossier, in particular the implementation of integrated management measures (national surveillance, surveillance of orchards and stations, sanitation); the inspection and certification system (organisation, state of play, management of notifications); and protective measures.

The workshop also offered an opportunity to remind participants of the measures companies need to implement to limit the spread of COVID-19.

This activity is supported by the Fit For Market SPS programme, implemented by COLEACP within the Framework of Development Cooperation between the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) and the European Union.
