TIMINI

What TIMINI does

TIMINI SARL is a Burkina Faso-based producer and exporter of dried tropical fruits, founded in 2014 in Bobo-Dioulasso as a joint venture between three parties: Fruiteq SARL (one of Burkina Faso's most experienced fresh mango exporters), MPAK Pty Ltd (one of South Africa's largest dried mango producers), and Westfalia (one of the world's largest dried mango and avocado marketers). The company operates two factories equipped with tunnel dryers, cold rooms, metal detectors, and an internal quality laboratory, producing five core product lines — dried mango (the primary product across Amelie, Lippens, Kent, Keitt, and Brooks varieties in slices, chunks, bits, and cheeks), dried coconut, dried banana, dried pineapple, and dried papaya — sourced from 4,000+ partner producers and three women-owned third-party supplier factories across Burkina Faso's western mango-producing region.

TIMINI serves international food retail, ingredient, and consumer goods buyers in Europe, the Americas, and Asia through direct B2B export channels, supplying under four certification tiers (Organic, Fairtrade, GlobalGAP, and conventional) and nine distinct regulatory certifications including USDA NOP, EU EOS, Bio Suisse, Kosher, FDA, HACCP, BRC, and JAS. The business model is straightforward export-oriented B2B dried fruit sales with quote-based pricing; commercial reach is amplified through Westfalia's global distribution network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures are not available. The mango production season runs April through August, with reported annual production capacity of 2,000 tons of dried mango and 2018 volumes of 18,000+ tonnes of fresh mangoes purchased, generating over 1 billion CFA francs in producer profit.

The company employs 55 permanent workers and over 700 daily/seasonal workers (95% of whom are women), with three additional women-owned third-party supplier factories contributing over 2,000 more positions and TIMINI's overall activities creating over 5,000 direct and indirect jobs regionally. Leadership is held by Adama ZONGO as Directeur Général. Operationally the company exhibits a small core staff (headcount disclosures of 1-10 reflect the formal enterprise-level administrative team only) layered onto a large seasonal processing workforce, with documented social impact metrics and a vertically integrated supply chain from orchard to finished dried fruit.
