The Tree Crops Development Authority (TCDA), in line with its statutory mandate to regulate and develop the six selected tree crops under authority has officially announced the Minimum Producer Price (MPP) for fresh mango for the 2025 major season.
For the 2025 major mango season, the Minimum Producer Price for second-grade fresh mango has been fixed at: GH¢4.8242 per kilogram.
This announcement is in accordance with Section 3(f) of the Tree Crops Development Authority Act, 2019 (Act 1010) and Regulation 47(1) of the Tree Crops Regulations, 2023 (L.I. 2471).
The pricing was determined in collaboration with key industry stakeholders, including the Federation of Association of Ghanaian Exporters (FAGE) and mango value chain actors across the country.
As Ghana’s mango sector continues to grow as one of the country’s most promising tree crop industries contributing significantly to export earnings, rural employment, and agro-industrial development the TCDA plays a pivotal role in ensuring fair pricing and sustainable practices across the value chain.
TCDA further notes that producers with first-grade mangos are allowed to negotiate for a premium price above the stated MPP, ensuring quality is incentivised across the market.
This strategic price intervention is part of TCDA’s broader mission to guarantee equitable income for farmers, improve export competitiveness, and promote transparency in the marketing of Ghana’s six selected tree crops under TCDA, including mango, coconut, cashew, rubber, oil palm, and shea.
