Senegal's mango season concluded on July 26, 2026, with a notable increase in export volumes. According to the country's horticultural authorities, total exports across all markets rose by approximately 15% compared to the previous year.
Shipments to Europe reached 19,000 tonnes, up from 14,000 tonnes in the 2025 season. This growth reflects improved production and market access, as well as efforts to meet European quality standards.
The season's success is attributed to favorable weather conditions and investments in cold chain logistics, which helped reduce post-harvest losses. The Senegalese government has been supporting the mango sector as part of its broader agricultural development strategy.
Industry experts note that the increase in exports contributes to the country's foreign exchange earnings and supports thousands of smallholder farmers. However, challenges remain, including competition from other West African exporters and the need for further infrastructure improvements.
