ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23th August, 2016) : Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) said on Wednesday major volume of mangoes was exported to Iran and middle East during the current season.
"Pakistan's mango export target is likely to be achieved during the current season due to opening of Iranian market and it is also expected that export will be closed around 120,000 tons," FPCCI Regional Standing Committee, Chairman Ahmad Jawad told APP.
He said last week the chamber had a detailed meeting with Iran Ambassador and during the meeting the team was briefed that Pakistani horticulture products had a great demand in Iranian markets. "We also requested the mission that Iranian Embassy may play its due role so that Pakistani Kinnow and potatoes could be allowed in the upcoming season, starting on December 1," he added.
Jawad also appreciated the role of Department of Plant Protection (DPP) for facilitating the mango exporters. "Currently a major hurdle to the expansion of Pakistani mango market is the inability to supply high-quality mangoes in a consistent manner by meeting demands of supermarket chains, he added. FPCCI also suggested that mango growers and the provincial government should jointly work for further improvement to fix loopholes including poor orchard management and post-harvest issues to tap further high value markets.
