Consumers in the United Arab Emirates can now enjoy Pakistani mangoes, as the first shipment has arrived in the country. According to Mustafa Altaf, Managing Director of Altaf Hussain Trading Co, the first shipment of over 90 containers included Sindhri and Almas varieties known for their excellent quality, ripeness and aroma. Other popular varieties like Dusehri, Saroli, Anwar Ratol, Gulas Khaas, and Langra will follow. Mangoes are usually available until September unless heavy rains disrupt the supply.
Mango consignments have started arriving by air, and sea shipments will begin soon. Prices are expected to be the same as last year or slightly lower due to the weak rupee against the UAE dirham. The rupee has fallen significantly in the last several months.
