Gebana Burkina Faso
The company "gebana Burkina Faso" (formerly gebana Afrique) was founded in 2006. It started its business by drying mangoes, sourcing dried fruit from farmer groups and then inspecting, cutting and packaging it. However, due to repeated quality deficiencies, it increasingly invested in its own equipment. Early on, the idea arose to complement the seasonal dried mango production with the year-round processing of cashew nuts.
