KARACHI: Pakistani fruit exporters have lost a lucrative market in neighbouring Iran, where at least 30,000 tons of mango were exported previously, as a result of the trade embargo imposed by the United Nations on Tehran.
With the loss of this market, the exporters could not export around $10 million worth of mango during the current season, said Waheed Ahmed, Co-chairman of Pakistan Fruit and Vegetable Exporters, Importers and Merchants Association in a statement on Monday.
Keeping in view the serious implications for Pakistani exports, the association has written a letter to the Ministry of Commerce, asking it to use diplomatic channels to resolve the issue.
Ahmed said though the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) had clarified its stance on the UN sanctions, the commercial banks were reluctant to show any flexibility in opening letters of credit and issuing E Form.
Commercial banks were reluctant to issue E Form to exporters because of UN sanctions on Iran, effectively prohibiting export of mango, he said, adding this would lead to a sharp reduction in overall mango exports.
Mango exports have already slowed down as only 40,000 tons could be exported so far to world markets. Besides Iran, “no shipments could be made to other potential markets of Japan and United States so far,” he said.
According to Ahmed, kinnow, another important fruit enjoying a considerable share in the country’s fruit exports, has also faced almost the same fate in Iran where only 6,000 tons were exported this year against average shipments of around 60,000 tons in previous years.
Besides the UN embargo, Iranian restrictions on imports to protect its local products have also hurt exports from Pakistan.

Pakistan loses Iran
 
We should do the same and ban Irani products too. Our mangoes should be patented, fck local products, because they're a product of hundreds of years of hard work in breeding them.
But this doesnt explain why japan and other countries have problems?
 
Who were accusing us for being a white man's slave when some of the trade restrictions were carried fwd with Iran? Who were they again?.... ;)

Iran is the victim here - These sanctions are imposed by United Nations.

It's our fcking corrupt ministers and bankers who are enforcing the sanctions, look at india, they don't give a fck despite being America's best friend
But I still don't get why it says they cant export to Japan and the US

You cant blame Iran - these are sanctions imposed by third parties trying to passify the Americans and Zionists. Quit pathetic. Im sure if Iran had the option they would love the mangoes as this year, i know its early, but the ones that have arrived in the UK are delicious.
