Fields

Agriculture Agroprocessing Bioenergy Market

Sectors

Organic waste Mango

Partners

COLEACP

Main goals

  • Identification of the quantities and types of waste generated by the transformation process
  • Analyzis of the causes of this waste and drafting of potential solutions to better valorize mangoes during the transformation process and to reduce associated wastage
  • Drafting of economically sustainable solutions for the recovery of final waste in general and for the specific units that have been studied

Specific objectives

The mission will rely on case studies of three processing units in Burkina Faso: Mango-So, Sanlé séchage, Ranch du Koba

Beneficiaries

Selected cooperatives and, more broadly, all operators of the mango sector in Burkina Faso.

Results

Specific solutions are proposed to cooperatives for the valorization of their waste

Activities

A1. Preparation of the mission and study of the functioning of the structures

A2. Assessement and monitoring of the quantities of losses and waste

A3. Proposal to improve waste recovery practices and drafting of specific solutions
