Hi, I am Zongo and I grow mango's in Burkina Faso

Video

Hello, my name is Zongo Adama and I grow organic ánd fairtrade mangoes for Nature & More in Burkina Faso, Afrika. Thank you for buying our fruit!

I am the export manager here at Fruiteq, the exporting company. It was established in 2005 in order to give small mango producers from this country access to the European market. Today we work with five producer organizations representing 1200 farmers from 3 countries (Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and Mali).

This area is one of the best places in the world to grow mango's. They grow everywhere, but of course not all the varieties are suitable for export. A typical organic mango is the Amelie variety, that has a distinctive citrus accent to the taste. Our mango farmers also cultivate cashew nuts, oranges and cereals. The mango is a forest product for us, which grows quite naturally.

At our warehouse (based near the town of Bobo-Dioulasso around 800 km from the coast) we collect, wash, sort and pack the mangoes. From there we transport them in a cooled container by train to the port of Abidjan (Ivory Coast) from where they are shipped to Europe.

Because our fruit is fair trade, with your purchase you support several projects in the rural area's of our country. One of them is the purchase of equipment for schools and hospitals in the villages of Beregadougou, Ferkessedougou and Doussoudiana. Another is a project for improvements in sanitation and hygiene, including a special training program for women. Thank you for that!

How 'bout taste?

Posted by shan baker at May 20, 2012 02:44 PM

We live in London and bought the mango from our local market. We found your little stamp on our mango and when we looked online, we found this interesting website. How nice to see the person that grew it. Many thanks, we will look out for more of the little stamps. The mango was delicious.

Cheers Shan

Hello Mr. Adama, yesterday I shared one of your mangos with two friends in a dish with chicken and rice. The mango was very sweet and we loved it! What a great initiative of natureandmore.com to enable consumers to 'meet' the growers. Keep up the good work! Regards, Ruth

Posted by Paul; van Avendonk, The Netherlands at Apr 02, 2012 10:01 PM

Brilliant quality Mango's you've got there! :D
Most of the regular Mango's sold here in the non-biological supermarkets are like stone, they almost break your teeth and taste like an old shoe.
You did just show what a real Mango's taste is.

Thanks for the great taste experience!

Greetingz!

DELICIOUS

Posted by Petra Schmitt, Berlin, Germany at Jul 16, 2011 01:15 PM

Last week I've eaten one of your mangoes and it was absolutately delicious.
I'm blessed to eat organic food since my mother started feeding us with it in 1976 which was pretty early. She was one of the pioneers in the region of Germany where I grew up.
It's wonderful to see how the organic food market is growing worldwide. It's really the best for all of us.
It's great that I can tell you that. This internet technology is amazing.

I think that the mango is still tasty after so long trip thanks to that you grow it with Love and Heart :) And I here am happy to receive the delicious mango and greatly appreciate it, and am happy to give back, as well :) That must make the mango so so happy, and then it wants to be all well, and nothing (bad) happens to it on the way :)
It is such a wonderful world and organization enabling us to feel like selling and buying local even though we are so far apart physically!!
Thank You!

Superb quality fruit

Posted by Willy - Belgium at May 05, 2011 02:07 AM

Dear Zongo,

my friend sells your delicious mangoes in her organic store, and it's there that I got to know them. These mangoes are among the best I've ever tasted, and I tried a lot! I eat them just like that, or mix them in a nice smoothie.
The small extra price compared to ordinary mangoes is money well spent! Every single human should be able to lead a decent life without being extortioned, and to earn a normal wage. Keep up the good work!

And I so love the idea of this website!

All the best from Belgium ;-)

Mango & Permaculture

Posted by Stephan from South Germany at May 03, 2011 10:11 PM

Dear Zongo, some minutes ago I have enjoyed your excellent fruit the more i eat the more I want ;-). Please have a look at http://permaculture.org.au/ and contact "Geoff Lawton" and ask him for the support tree for mango trees... I saw a permaculture lesson and Bill Mollison mentioned some special support tree. The lesson was about culture in India... I'm just a hobby gardener I'm not an expert, If you have time to read a book but not enough money to order I'll send you the Permaculture A Designers Manual (0-908228-01-5 http://www.tagari.com/) for free (English), just give me your adress. Thank you for your great work. God bless you all.
Yours sincerely
Stephan

Dear Stephan,
Thank you very much for your nice comment and support with lesson in permaculture. I am now very busy by sending to the market mango. When I get enough time, I will go trough this and will come back to you with question.
Thank you very much for offering me free the book, but at the price you are buying my fruit it is enough for me to buy book, to have my children in school. Just keeping buying our mango. We will always send you the best we have.
Best regards

Le tracage: Excellente initiative!

Posted by Dom Heidelberg at May 02, 2011 11:14 PM

Bonjour Adama!

D'habitude il est très difficile de trouver de bonnes mangues en Allemagne. J'ai acheté vos mangues dans un supermarché "bio" et je dois dire qu'elles sont excellentes. L'idée du tracage est également très bonne. Continuez de produire ces excellents fruits avec vos méthodes à vous. C'est le meilleur moyen que nous en profitions tous. Merci à vous! Bonne continuation!

Bad batch?

Posted by Michael from Germany at Apr 28, 2011 03:46 PM

Hello Zongo,
unfortunately the two unripe mangos I purchased from the local organic foods store here in Germany and let ripen for two or three days were mostly light brown inside. The few soft yellow parts were also sour and flavorless. I know that can happen sometimes... just wanted to let you know. I'll let you know if I get a good one.

Regards,
Michael

Amelie

Posted by Nick in UK at Apr 26, 2011 11:40 AM

Dear Zongo,
I want to write about Amelie on my website (www.goodfruitguide.co.uk), so wonder if you can help me with some information about Amelie? I would like to know the origin of the variety and where it is grown, but also the best way of telling when an Amelie mango is ready to eat (I had one this morning and although it had pale yellow skin and was quite soft, the flesh was a little spongy and acidic). My site is for encouraging British consumers to eat more fruit, and I think they would eat more mangoes if they knew about Amelie!
Regards,
Nick

Thank you for your excellent mangoes. I would like to see them more often in my usual shop.
My problem : your mangoes come to me with a slightly black flesh, probably because of a too cold storage. Could you remind on your packing-carboards, the minimal temperature (probably around 13°C) ?
Go on growing mangoes on small farms.

mango

Posted by Marie Joseph- Mouscron - Belgique at Jul 02, 2010 10:00 AM

Les premières mangues que j'ai mangées c'était il y a 40 ans. Un ami indien en avait rapporté de son pays lors d'une visite chez mes parents. On n'en trouvait pas chez nous à l'époque. Puis plus tard j'ai découvert les mangues d'Amérique latine au marché. Cette après midi j'ai été très agréablement surprise de trouver des mangues bio du Burkina Faso au super marché près de chez moi. Elles sont délicieuses. L'idée est vraiment chouette de coller un sticker permettant de découvrir l'entreprise qui a relevé le défi d'exporter les fruits des producteurs d'Afrique de l'ouest. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de succès

Lovely mango

Posted by Kathryn and James, London at Jun 30, 2010 01:43 PM

Dear Zongo and colleagues,
We really enjoyed your delicious mango. We shared it one evening when my mother had come to stay with us. She never buys mangos herself so she was excited to eat it. We then really enjoyed finding out about where the mango had come from on the computer. My son, James, is very interested in Africa and also he is learning about different fruits and vegetables at school, so this was a great way to find out more about things that we eat, and where they come from. I'm afraid I am so ignorant that I had never even heard of Burkina Faso, so at least I have found out a bit about your country! Thank you again, and good luck to you all. Best wishes, Kathryn and James

mango for breakfast

Posted by Judith & Ton in Amsterdam. The Netherlands, Europe at Jun 28, 2010 10:35 AM

Hi! We have just enjoyed the luxury of sharing a mango for breakfast. I found a sticker with your code on it. What a fun way to connect to the producer behind the product! Please give our very best regards to all the farmers who might have contributed to our tasty pleasure.

We travelled in Senegal Cassamance. They also grow mango's there. When I eat mango I feel myself in West Africa, esecially since today we have hot weather - which is rare in our wet and cold "frog country" as we call it.

Wishing you good health for yourself and your family! Have a great day and a good year!

I just had the best tasting mango ever in my life. I could taste the love in it of the earth, the sun and the growers/harvesters. Thank you so much for providing this delicious food to our part of the world. You're doing important work! I will look for the mangos again and maybe one day visit your country.
Blessings for you and your loved ones.

Great idea

Posted by Sarah, London, UK. at Jun 25, 2010 01:28 PM

What a lovely idea - all of a sudden, what had been just a piece of fruit now has a story and a long journey behind it. I will appreciate it more now.

I wonder how this sort of initiative could be increased.

Dear friends of West Africa.
Keep up doing the good farming work!
Burkino Faso stands for Better Future with Best Fruits!
Your mangoes are the BEST!
I am writing from a small town (Lokeren) where a big Football player of your country was playing: Aristide Bancé.
I met him several times and he is the most charming football player I ever talked to!
Keep it simple: follow natural pathways and our future will be better than ever before!
