Last season, exports of Malian mangoes to the European Union were characterized by consistent volume, which was higher than that of other West African origins. In response, the European Union temporarily banned all Malian mango imports. Echoes from a national workshop attended by producers suggest that the interception of Malian mangoes was met with silence in Mali, prompting the European Union to proceed with the radical measure of a complete ban. In 2016, for example, Malian authorities reacted quickly to the first alert, which helped preserve the reputation of Malian mangoes and ensure the continuation of the export campaign." In this regard, I don't believe the European Union has shown any indulgence."
