ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has exported 1209.1 million ton of oranges during first six months of current fiscal year which contributed millions of dollar to national kitty.
Pakistan has more than 250 processing plants in production areas of citrus to keep the taste, aroma and enhance shelf life of citrus fruit where oranges can also be processed.
