According to the Consul General of Pakistan in Shanghai, Hussain Haider, there is a plan to establish long-term relations between Pakistani mango exporters and Chinese mango importers. Haider highlighted this in an interview with China Economic Net (CEN) after the great success of the 2022 Pakistan Mango Festival and Pakistan Promotion Conference held on August 1, in Shanghai.
Now, there has been an obvious decline in the production of Pakistani mangoes this year due to the harsh weather; a drop of almost 60% has been observed. However, Hussain Haider gave a positive response, saying that the normal output of mangoes in Pakistan equates to 1.8 million tons per year, and exports comprise 150,000 tons of it. So, although production has decreased, there is still adequate capacity for export.
Though the mangoes that Pakistan exports to China on a commercial basis are not of a substantive quantity, in 2021, supply almost increased by 10% in comparison to 2020.
