Kenya’s mangoes have received a clean bill of health in Italy in a major boost to growers as the country prepares to start exports to Europe after a 10-year ban due to fruit flies.

Kenya Health Inspectorate Service (Kephis) said some tonnes of mangoes were sent to Italy on trial basis after the country corrected the issues that led to the ban and that Rome expressed its satisfaction with the fruits.
