Pakistan is eyeing an export target of 100,000 metric tonnes of mangoes this year in return for $80 million in foreign exchange.
The country's total mango production is expected at 1.2 million tonnes this year despite a sizeable production loss, primarily owing to climate change led by extreme weather condition, according to fruit exporters in Pakistan.
Pakistan has been exporting mangoes to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the US, Canada and European Union for many years. The country exported 75,000 metric tonnes last year.
Pakistani mangoes have already arrived in the UAE and are dominating the fruit shelves of supermarkets since mid-June. UAE-based traders import Pakistani mangoes worth $6 million with an approximate share of 30 per cent in the total Pakistani mango exports every year.
Capitalising the popularity of Pakistani mangoes in the UAE, Consulate General of Pakistan in Dubai is planning to host a mango festival at Giardino Restaurant, Palazzo Versace Hotel from July 11-13 2019.
