KARACHI: Pakistani mangoes have become center of action in the largest retail chain of China "Wall Mart" where the king of fruit is being offered for sale in a festivity.
The mangoes were shipped by a leading Pakistani exporter Durrani Associates through sea in July this year.
Director of Durrani Associates Babar Khan Durrani said here Friday that Pakistan has taken a lead by exporting 40 tons of mango to China. India had registered for mango export to China in 2003 and Pakistan in 2006.
He said China is a big market and a three-member Chinese delegation will visit Pakistan to conclude an agreement for the purchase of 100 tons of mango.
The delegation will witness the working of latest mango treatment and quality control processes during the visit.
Durrani said Pakistani mangoes are in great demand in China due to their quality and taste and Pakistan can earn millions of dollars by exporting the king of fruit.
He pointed out that Pakistan can enhance mango export to China three fold in next three years.
He said Pakistan exports mangoes to 11 countries and is ranked fifth in global mango production. We produce about 1.6 to 2 million tons of mangoes every year, he added.
