The Citrus Research Institute Sargodha is making all-out efforts to aid Pakistani citrus growers, hoping that during the current season growers would get 25-40 percent better rates compared to the previous season. A total of 10,000 saplings of seedless kinnow have been distributed among farmers through a balloting system. Registration is underway to provide more saplings for next season.
CRIS Director Muhammad Nawaz Maiken stated this Tuesday that the kinnow yield was 2.5 million tons in total last year, out of which 400,000-tons -worth Rs 28 billion (€182 mln)- was exported to international markets.
