Healthy Homemade Mango Wine

Kenyan mangoes stand tall amongst the best in the world, putting the country on the map as a source of juicy and healthy fruits to the world’s leading mango markets. Mango is a stony tropical fruit of the anacardiaceae family. In Kenya, mango farming is done mostly in Eastern and the Coast. Ripe fruits are consumed raw as dessert, or processed into fruit juices and other sweet products. Since mango is a seasonal fruit, it is highly perishable and value addition is necessary to avoid losses. Value addition is any action that takes a (raw) product a step closer to the form in which it can conveniently meet the needs of the users. This enables small-scale farmers to reduce post-harvest losses for perishable fruits and thereby offering them opportunities to maximise returns.
