Originating from India, mango cultivation has spread worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. Mangoes are rich in vitamins and iron, making them an excellent food for treating anemia and other blood-related conditions. In Colombia, harvests take place from April to October, and many varieties grow abundantly both in cultivation and naturally in the forest. At harvest time, the quantity of mangoes often exceeds the communities’ capacity to sell them, resulting in wasted resources.
To reduce these losses and help communities develop new processing skills, Envol Vert supports the production and marketing of mango chutney by partner communities. This chutney is made from mangoes and spices, giving it a sweet-and-sour flavor. It can be used as a sauce or a spread.
