BEIJING – A flight carrying 1030 kilograms of Pakistani mangoes from Lahore reached Urumqi International Airport, the first direct import of Pakistani fruit in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The direct import from Pakistan is expected to reduce the retail price by 20%-30%, such as mango and other fruit types with higher loss rate during transportation, People’s Daily quoting Urumqi Customs officials here on Thursday.

At present, most of the imported fruits sold in the Urumqi market are imported from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other mainland ports and then sold to Urumqi. Due to a large number of transit channels and long transportation time, it not only affects the quality of fruits but also has a high price.

Fruits imported directly through local ports can greatly reduce transportation costs, shorten transportation time, and reduce costs such as cold chain transportation, storage, and labour. It is worth mentioning that in order to further increase the number of fruit imports, Urumqi International Airport Customs has actively contacted a number of international high-quality fruit merchants resources to encourage and support qualified enterprises to rely on the entry control environment of the entry fruits and the cargo route-policy advantages of the airport economy zone.

ISLAMABAD – A three-day Pakistani mango festival kicked off in UAE, displaying different varieties of high-quality mangoes such as Chaunsa, Sindhri, Anwar Ratol, and Langra to attract a large number of visitors.

Different stalls have been set up, where different breeds of mangoes have been displayed. The famous types of mangoes are Chaunsa, Sindhri, Anwar Ratol, and Langra which have no match in taste in the entire
world.
“The aim of organizing this festival was not only to highlight the importance of Pakistani mangoes but also to increase and enhance its export and this festival will play an important role in enhancing the productivity of mangoes,” said, organizers.

The Consulate General of Pakistan has organized the first-ever festival of this kind in the emirate.

There are at least 19 varieties of the ‘king of fruits’ showcased at the event that ends on Saturday, July 13.

The Consul General of Pakistan in Dubai Ahmad Amjad Ali spoke and expressed the importance of exporting more mangoes to the UAE from Pakistan, the Gulf News reported.

Pakistan is home to about 250 varieties and is the sixth largest exporter of the fruit in the
world.

“We currently export to 22 countries and we want to increase our exports to the UAE,” said Ali.

Speaking about the most popular breed, he said that the Sindhri, which comes from the Sindh province of Pakistan, and the Chaunsa are the most loved.

Other popular varieties include the Anwar Ratol, Langra and Fajri. Each variety differs in size, colour, taste and texture.

This period is an especially important one in terms of the fruit’s yield in Pakistan.”This week has the maximum variety of mangoes because the season in Sindh is ending and the season in Punjab is just beginning,” said Ali.

Pakistani mango industry is failing to promote their mangoes. In the US mangoes are absolutely atrocious to say the least 0 flavor, 0 sweetness, 0 scent and they're SUPER expensive. If they convinced someone to try a Pakistani mango in US that person would never switch back compared to the junky mangoes here, even for double the price.

^^ it's wrong if someone sells Pakistani mangoes as Indian magoes, but I just hope you guys re aware that India has its own variety of mangoes. Infact there are varieties that's common in both India and Pakistan. I am not sure who is the bigger exporter/producer (someone please throw light on that) but India produces enough mangoes and of qualities great enough to sell it labelled as Indian itself.
