Mangoes in
Guinea: Mangoes are widely available throughout
Guinea, but are especially prevalent in the Haute Guinea and
Maritime regions where the tradition of family plantations has
been in place for centuries. Over the years, family
plantations have become more organized and commercial, largely
because of the introduction of improved seed varieties. Aside
from producing fruit, mango trees have an important social
role in Guinea because of the shade they provide. Mango production is estimated at 50 to
60,000 tonnes for the entire country and is mainly located in
Upper Guinea and Maritime Guinea.
Mangifera minor
traditional mango fruit is widespread in Papua New Guinea.
Within Papua New Guinea, traditional mango is widely dispersed
in the lowlands and
highlands on the New Guinea mainland.
