A taste of the wonderful, juicy flesh of a fully ripe mango may be delightful – rich, aromatic, and sweet! The Pakistan Mango Festival is the perfect opportunity for mango enthusiasts to indulge in their favorite fruit. On July 1 and 2, Dubai will host a festival with a wide range of mangoes for traders and tourists from all over the world.
On the first day of the exhibition, senior officials, diplomats, senators, members of business councils, and trading organizations from the UAE and Pakistan will see more than a dozen popular types of Pakistani mangoes. The festival’s first day is by invitation only. The activities on the second day are open to anyone.
Attendees will participate in activities, contests, eating, shopping, local stalls, and other activities linked to mangos. The Pakistan Consulate, Pakistan Business Council, and Pakistan Association Dubai are collaborating on the event.
Also, a program called “Mangoes for a Cause” will be introduced soon. The proceeds from mango sales during the festival will be donated to the non-profit hospital Pakistan Medical Centre. We expect around 2,000 people to attend the festival on the second day.
Pakistan produces around 1.8 million tonnes of mangoes per year, ranking fifth in the world after India, China, Thailand, and Indonesia. Mango supply is expected to fall by half this year, from 125,000 tonnes exported by Pakistan in 2021.
This year, Pakistani mangoes are popular in Dubai. Exports have been larger than in previous years due to the high growth rate in the face of decreased mango output in Pakistan during the heatwave and climate change.
