Pakistani mangoes big hit in China

At the Mango Expo in Guangzhou Pakistani mangoes got an overwhelming response according to Waheed Ahmed, Chairman of All Pakistan Fruit and Vegetable Exporters, Importers and Merchants Association (PFVA).

Orders for three tons of melons were received per day. Pakistan had planned to export around 200 tons of mangoes to India. Due to the great response the exhibition was extended from one week to three and will now conclude on July 5.

By improving product quality and keeping in view the FTA between China and Pakistan, the Chinese market could be developed to become the third biggest export destination for Pakistani mangoes.

Dubai, Iran and Saudi Arabia are top three export markets for the Pakistani mango. Seventy per cent of Pakistan's total mango exports in 2009 went to these countries.

Last year, Pakistan exported 0.13 million tons of mangoes worth $41 million, which is estimated to reach $50 million this year. Cultivation of the fruit may drop to 1.6 million tons against 1.8 million tons last year. "The cyclone and rains ruined a notable part of the orchards this season," he concluded.
