However, Bangladesh does not figure in the list of top 10 mango exporters.
Enhancing Trade In Mangoes
METHODOLOGY
• Analyze the value chain
• Identify constraints and challenges
• Develop guidelines for safety and quality
• Enhance capacity by training and demonstration
• Implement good practices and monitor
• Identify markets and opportunities
• Address buyer requirements
Situational analysis of mango orchards
Hortex in collaboration with DAE Officials conducted a baseline survey in 7 different districts
Southern Region • Satkhira
Chittagong Hill Tracts • Khagrachori • Rangamati • Bandarban
Northern Region • Rajshahi • Pabna • Chapainowabgonj
Excessive application of pesticides
Imbalanced use of chemical fertilizers
Use of unapproved chemicals as growth regulators
Inadequate maintenance of personal and environmental safety
Non-observance of pre-harvest index in some cases
Poor postharvest handling practices
Poor practices in handling produce during transportation to the market
Value chain analysis – food safety issues
Challenges to improving food safety in mango value chains
The uncontrolled use of agrochemicals and fertilizers
Lack of attention to personal and environmental safety
Lack of adequate post-harvest practices to preserve quality
Lack of capacity and post-harvest facilities for
handling, transportation and storage
sorting and grading
appropriate packaging
The key challenge
Induce farmers to change behavior by demonstrating value of adopting
food safety control measures
Value chain analysis - challenges
Guidelines
• Principles of food control
• Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
• Codes of practice – GAP, GHP
• Cost-benefit analysis
• Demonstrating gain
Capacity building through a cascade

Markets and opportunities
• Export of Indian and Pakistani mangoes to EU was banned in 2014
• This caused a supply gap in the UK especially during Ramadan
• Bangladesh has mango varieties that mature earlier in the summer
• Expert recognized that at the right price point these could be profitably sold in the UK
How the links were made with Walmart - 1
• Experts travelled to Bangladesh and took samples
• They chose local aromatic varieties that would be welcomed by UK consumers
• 6 varieties were trialed for taste and 3 approved by Walmart for a test shipment (Himsagar, Langra, BARI-3)
• A series of technical issues now had to be addressed
How the links were made with Walmart - 2
• Mango producers needed to be certified as following Good Agriculture Practices
• FAO guidelines and certified education ensured that the supply chain was considered compliant
• FAO expert examined and audited the supply chain for – ethical requirements – commercial requirements including packaging – testing facilities and capabilities
• FAO expert and Hortex identified a commercial partner who could carry out the trial shipment
Chemical and pest-free mangoes
• Phytosanitary certificate
– Dept. of Agriculture Extension, Bangladesh
– Importer for Walmart in the UK
• Food safety testing
– Pesticide residues were below maximum permitted levels

No pesticide residues No formalin Good organoleptic characteristics
- 10% mangos green - 35% Fruits damaged - Mango boxes wet and transpired - Mangos with sapburn
- Improve sorting - Improve handling and palletization - Wash fruits
No pesticide residues No formalin Very good organoleptic characteristics
- Wet boxes - Sapburn/black spotting - No cool transport
- Improve grading - Washing of mangos - Store mangos at 20C - Improve packaging
No pesticide residues No formalin Very good organoleptic charachteristics
- Wet boxes - Sapburn/black spotting - No cool transport
- Refrigerated transport - Mango desapping - Washing with water - Hot water treatment - Storing at 20ºC - Packaging
No pesticide residues No formalin Very good organoleptic characteristics
- Sapburn/black spotting
- Cold chain - Hot water treatment - Packaging

Towards GAP Certification
Towards GAP certification
Pesticide Residues: Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) in selected mango orchards were below EU Standards
Post-harvest treatment: Selected farms are making progress towards establishment of post-harvest practices
Pest risk assessment: Bangladesh was able to provide evidence on pest free areas
Traceability: Farm and mango market records are non-existent. Record keeping is a requirement for EU export. Trained farmers are currently keeping records
GMP Certification: Packhouses are moving towards the establishment of GMP
SAARC GAP: Bangladesh is working in a certification scheme
Next steps
• Prepare for 2016 season
• Ensure commercial capability 24/7
• Compete continuously
– Ban on Indian mangoes has been lifted
• Improve post-harvest treatments
• Ensure cold-chain systems
• Packing house
– Good Manufacturing Practices
– Packaging know-how
– All elements of GAP
