```html No tropical countries large amounts of mangoes and pawpaws are left to rot at source. EU regulations specify that all these have to be fumigated before they can be imported. However, some middlemen apply chemicals forbidden by the EU to hasten the process, putting the health of consumers at risk. Despite the dangers, small growers use these chemicals as they are cheap and effective. However, the real problem lies in the lack of infrastructure to transport their produce. Sustainable development projects by the UN are attempting to address these issues and offer solutions. A variety of fruits can be grown in Africa, but the issue remains the same: lack of infrastructure. Emerging trends suggest a slow growth of export markets, but this can only be beneficial with better infrastructure. ``` Frutas como manga e mamão são desperdiçadas em países tropicais Regulamentações da UE exigem que essas frutas sejam fumigadas antes de serem importadas Pequenos produtores utilizam produtos químicos proibidos para acelerar o processo de fumigação, colocando em risco a saúde dos consumidores #tecnologia #primeirapágina #avaliações #guia #tecnologia #revisãodebolsa
