Called the “king of fruit”, sweet and delicious mangoes are eaten across the world more than any other fruit. Greatly appreciated just as a sweet dessert, or in chutneys, ice cream and smoothies, they come in wide range of skin colours, shapes, textures, and flavours.
The mango season is in full swing in West Africa, which has become an important producing region in the world. Our expertise tells us that nearly 100,000 tonnes will be exported from Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea, Senegal, Ghana, Gambia, and Togo to Europe, with large volumes to be sent to France (Le Havre), Germany (Hamburg) and Belgium (Antwerp).
As a world leader in global container shipping, MSC has developed a solid expertise in transporting perishable cargo. Building on our modern and green fleet, we have been helping farmers and exporters make the most of the ‘peak season’ for a wide variety of fruits, including mango.
We pride ourselves on offering global service with local knowledge for the safe transportation of this special cargo, ensuring it arrives at its destination in good time and in the best possible condition.
