Mangoes "FROM Seed to TABLE"

 The network NRWPTT began the exploitation of mangoes five years ago by hosting the now very popular national event the “Mango Festival” and “Mango Conference” in both events we network closely with our partners, the University of the West Indies (UWI) Inter-American Institute for Corporation on Agriculture (IICA) Ministry of Food Production (MFP) and the Tourism Development Company (TDC)

In 2009 the NRWPTT hosted the first Mango Festival as it was seen as a solution to address the problem of poverty, limited markets and business opportunities for our rural women and to fulfil our objective to “Enhance the social and financial well-being of Rural Women.” The impact of the training is evident at the mango festival where members offer a wide range of high quality products made from mangoes such as pastries, jams, wines and other condiments, but most important are the non-editable products as we study the Health Benefits of Mangoes

Inclusive of the outer body products handcrafted soaps, body creams, beauty products and more items made from the fruit. Eating the fruit provides additional benefits as it improves Digestion, Lower Cholesterol, High Iron for Women, treatment for Acne, Improves Concentration and Memory Power, mango is slowly gaining new acclaim as diabetes fighter, no longer a myth,  and the lists go on and on.
