Kinnow exports to Indonesia increase to 48 million dollars
This increase in kinnow exports is attributed to prudent government actions, especially the re-negotiation of the Preferential Trade Agreement with Indonesia. During re-negotiations, Indonesia agreed to give a concession on 20 tariff lines, such as on major exports, including rice, textile, ethanol, citrus (kinnow) and mangoes.
The concessions on the 20 tariff lines are a major success for Pakistan. Besides increase in the citrus export, the quantity of mangoes exported to Indonesia is likely to rise to 10 million tons in a year. The two countries' annual trade volume was 170 million dollars, which is expected to increase to 300 million dollars after renegotiation on the PTA.
