Exporter clings to Canada mango, vegetable markets

Sorting mangoes for export to Canada

Leslie Anthony exports mangoes and vegetables to Canada. He has an arrangement with Caribbean Airlines (CA), which can sometimes be hit or miss, since his cargo is dependent on the availability of space on the aircraft. As a result he has a high percentage of wastage particularly of mangoes and would like to explore valued-added products if the conditions are right.

When Stabroek Business went to Anthony’s home on Sunday to talk with him about his mango export business, his wife was apologetic about his failure to keep the appointment. He had received an unexpected call from CA earlier advising him to get to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport with such cargo as he had for shipment to Canada,
