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 tEU imports from Ghana in 2025, mango, guava and mangosteen code (+79% on 2024)Source
  • €5.49/kgGhana's average import value in 2025, against €1.72 for all originsSource
  • 0EU increased border-check entries for mango from GhanaSource

What buyers usually ask for

  • Pesticide residue results from an accredited laboratory, compared with EU maximum residue levels
  • Whether the product is sulphited (sulphites above 10 mg/kg must be declared as an allergen on EU labels)
  • Moisture or water activity, cut, colour and variety
  • Microbiological results
  • A food safety certificate such as BRCGS, IFS, FSSC 22000, or at least HACCP
  • Organic certification for organic lines (EU organic; Bio Suisse for many Swiss retailers)

Documents typically requested per shipment

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Certificate of origin
  • Laboratory analysis for the lot
  • Organic certificate of inspection in the EU TRACES system, for organic consignments

Market signals

  • EU customs code 0804 50 00 covers mangoes, guavas and mangosteens, fresh or dried, in one line. Official statistics cannot separate dried mango, so Ghana's high value per kilogram suggests a large share of dried or air-freighted fruit, without confirming it. Source
  • Mango from Egypt is under increased EU border checks for pesticide residues (20% of consignments). Source

Rules to watch

  • Mango is not covered by the EU deforestation regulation (EUDR).
  • Switzerland applies its own food law through the FSVO; EU rules do not apply there automatically. Source
  • Organic imports into the EU need an electronic certificate of inspection. Source

If you supply dried mango

  • State clearly how much of your volume is dried and how it is dried
  • Keep residue and sulphite results for every lot, not only one per season
  • Share a one-page product sheet with variety, cut, packaging and certifications

A Trust Passport records each of these with its evidence level, so buyers see what is checked and what is not.
