Mango is by far the most important fruit in Bangladesh. In 2014, the media coverage on the wide-scale application of chemicals to harvested mangoes for ripening went viral and created panic among the consumers. Law enforcement agencies demolished hundreds of tons of mangoes. To avoid the repetition of the 2014 scenario, AVC organized seven stakeholders’ dialogues. AVC hired CPL to know the outcomes and impacts of the mango stakeholder’s dialogues conducted in 2015. This was mostly qualitative research.
