Speaking exclusively to Bole based Nkilgi FM, the Bole District Chief Farmer who is the owner of Allahkabo Farms in Bole and who is the 2019 2nd Best Farmer in the Savannah Region seedlings of the “Pama” mango were imported from Brazil in South America some years back when he attended a farming workshop with his counterparts from other countries.

The Bole District District Chief Farmer also disclosed that he brought 3 seedlings of the “Pama” Mango to Ghana after the workshop in Brazil but unfortunately, 2 seedlings died and 1 managed to grow after he carefully nurtured it.

He told Nkilgi Fm the “Pama” Mango can cure several sicknesses such as blood pressure, stomach related diseases and women menstruation disorder amongst others.

Madam Nimatu highlighted the medicinal importance of the mango variety and urged everyone to get one at a good price from Alhaji Allahkabo.
