The senior Chinese diplomat said on social media Twitter (Twitter) that Pakistani mango has been deeply loved by Chinese consumers.

It is reported that Pakistan is the fifth largest mango producing country in the world, with an average annual output of 1.8 million tons. The varieties mainly include Chaunsa and Sindhri.

Among them, Chaunsa mango is a fine variety of late-maturing varieties. The fruit is medium to large and has a unique aroma. The people are very incomparable; Sindhri mango is distinguished by its colour and shape. After ripening, the fruit becomes bright yellow, and the taste is not inferior, according to Ifeng.com, a Chinese Edition.

At present, Pakistani mangoes are mainly produced in the provinces of Punjab and Sindh. The season is mainly concentrated in May from early September to early September, and neighbouring India is its largest competitor.

In recent years, Pakistan's mango exports have grown rapidly mainly to Europe, China, the Middle East, the United States, Australia and South Korea.

In view of the huge potential of China's consumer market, Pakistan has stepped up efforts to open up the Chinese mango market.

In 2017, the Mango Festival, jointly organized by the Pakistan Embassy, the Pakistan Horticultural Development and Export Corporation and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, aims to introduce and promote Pakistani mangoes to Chinese groups and achieve good results.

It might be of interest for some of you to know that CHINA is in fact the SECOND largest mango producer in the world after India with around 4.5 million ton production. Pakistan is at 5th/6th with around 1.75 million tons. It really the taste of the qualities produced in Pakistan that is considered THE BEST and thus the exports.

With a growing economy, China is hungry and thirsty for fresh fruits (actually for all kinds of food). There is always segment of market that is happy to pay for high quality fruits with premium price. There is a lot of opportunity for Pakistani farmers/ growers to capture and capitalize.

This is a very good development. Pakistan should focus more and more on agriculture because it is a great source of employment and income distribution upto lowest level of income pyramid.
