Validation of the Market Opportunity Study

The main findings of the Market Opportunity Analysis were presented to the actors in the Senegalese mango sector during the Validation Workshop held in Dakar on 29 November 2011. The workshop gathered 60 participants from different organizations involved in the export of mangoes, primarily producers, exporters and trade support institutions. The main findings of the analysis were approved although participants felt that the project should continue to focus on the traditional high volume export market of fresh mango, particularly to position Senegal in other large import markets such as the Netherlands and meet the key requirements for market access.
