Eight mango producers at one stand
Interested buyers will have the opportunity to meet mango producers from both Africa and South America at the IPD stand. Producers from Egypt and Senegal as well as Brazil, Ecuador and Peru will be showcasing their wide range of varieties (Tommy Atkins, Haden, Kent) as well as their organic and conventional offerings and their different seasons. Exporters from Africa and South America will also be presenting their supply of avocados and table grapes: the avocados come from Kenya, Ecuador, and Peru; the table grapes from Egypt, Brazil and Ecuador.
New partner countries: Brazil and Senegal
IPD is expanding its fresh produce offering with Brazil and Senegal. The import promotion initiative will present six companies from the new partner countries at Fruit Attraction. They will be bringing mangoes, grapes, and ginger to the international trade fair. "Senegal scores with its proximity to Europe", says Thomas Derstadt, Sourcing + Markets Specialist at IPD. The producers know how to use this advantage and have adapted their vegetable range to the European winter, which is an interesting import season for us. The delivery months for mangos are June and July.
