Pilot products
Three products, chosen for evidence and demand
Each corridor has buyers in Switzerland and the Netherlands, suppliers in Ghana and Kenya, and clear rules a supplier can prove it meets. Figures are sourced and dated (12 October 2026).
Ghana → Netherlands and Switzerland
Dried mango
Ghana is a small but fast-growing supplier of mango to Europe, at prices well above the market average. Buyers need evidence on residues, sulphites and processing before they switch origin.
4,875 t EU imports from Ghana in 2025, mango, guava and mangosteen code (+79% on 2024)
What buyers requireKenya → Switzerland and the Netherlands
