The Tree Crops Development Authority (TCDA) has announced a new minimum producer price for fresh mangoes for the 2025 minor season, following a successful multi-stakeholder engagement aimed at promoting fairness and sustainability within the mango value chain.

In a collaborative meeting involving the Federation of Associations of Ghanaian Exporters (FAGE) and the National Mango Growers Association (NMGA), stakeholders reached a consensus to peg the minimum producer price at GH¢4.18 per kilogram.

The decision follows extensive deliberations focused on balancing farmer welfare, export competitiveness, and broader industry sustainability.

TCDA Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Osei Okrah, who participated virtually, commended the stakeholders for their constructive engagement and commitment to industry growth.

He reaffirmed TCDA’s regulatory mandate and emphasised the Authority’s dedication to ensuring that producer prices reflect fair value for farmers while maintaining equity across all levels of the value chain.

Dr Okrah further highlighted the importance of such engagements in strengthening collaboration among value chain actors, enhancing livelihoods, and supporting Ghana’s long-term aspirations for a competitive and resilient mango industry.

The newly agreed price is expected to bolster farmer confidence, encourage improved production practices, and contribute to a more stable market environment ahead of the 2025 minor season.
