Burkina Faso Cercle
des Secheurs Cercle des Secheurs (CDS) was formed in 1994 by five founding members all using solar and appropriate drying technology developed by the Centre Ecologique Albert Schweitzer. Three of the five founding members were cooperatives, of which two were women's cooperatives. The other two were private enterprises. CDS, their collective enterprise, was tasked to manage quality control and export to Europe. CDS's first and main products were dried organic mangoes. For the last two years, they have also manufactured and exported mango juice and mango syrup. They also export sun dried tomatoes. CDS's
growth has been impressive. In 2003, CDS exported 68 tonnes of dried
mango, 10 tonnes of juice, and 8 tonnes of syrup. Tropical Wholefoods
have traded with CDS since 1995 and along with the Swiss Alternative
Trade Organisation Claro, are their major trading partner.
