Dry More Slogan-01

Dry More, Get More

Burkinabé dried mango producers are amongst the best in the world. Yet mangoes are a seasonal product. So for much of the year, the infrastructure needed to produce this dried mango goes unused.

The goal of the Burkina Dry More project is to get more out of the mango drying infrastructure that exists in Burkina Faso. Over the next 3 years four new products will be introduced into the line-up of processing companies, extending drying well into the mango off-season. The project works to strengthen access to markets and linkages between processors and farmers. It will also improve farming & processing skills while increasing competitiveness of the selected processing companies. A longer processing season has the potential to increase jobs, improve farmer livelihoods and make for a better opportunities for all.

Having a working template can make all the difference to job creation, livelihoods and better inclusion of women and youth.
