Fresh mango from Ghana to Japan: no market access
Japan prohibits imports of fresh mango fruit from Ghana. Its Plant Protection Act lists fresh Mangifera fruit as an import-prohibited plant from areas with the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata, all of Africa) and the Oriental fruit fly complex (Bactrocera dorsalis, Ghana named). The few exemptions are for specific countries and varieties, none of them in Africa.
