  "account": "Senegalese football star Sadio Mané has launched a $20.4 million agro-industrial project in his hometown of Bambali, southern Senegal. The project, called SM10 Agro, aims to expand mango processing and create jobs. The complex will feature a processing plant with an annual capacity to handle 8,500 tonnes of mangoes, producing pulp, dried fruit, and mango butter. Additionally, there will be a 500-hectare plantation of Kent mangoes, located in Casamance, Senegal's leading mango-producing region. The project addresses the significant post-harvest losses and limited processing facilities in the area, which contribute to the loss of 30 to 45 percent of harvested fruit annually. Mané expressed his desire to be remembered for more than his football achievements, stating that he wants to help create jobs and develop agriculture.",
