What’s so Unusual about Pakistani Mangoes?

Mangoes are not only Pakistan’s national fruit, they are also part of the culture, a networking tool, an instrument of social bonding and a diplomatic emissary worthy of being gifted to dignitaries all over the world.

Pakistan is ranked sixth in terms of mango production and fifth in terms of mango exporting countries in the world.

The country’s mango industry has a volume of Rs100 billion while millions of people are employed in the industry.

Sindhri is often considered as one of the best varieties of mangoes in the world because of its unique taste and size.

The Chaunsa mango is known as one of the best in the world. It is now grown in a number of places around the world, but originated in Rahim Yar Khan and Multan in Punjab. It is unusually sweet, with a wonderful fragrance, and has delicious, soft, succulent flesh with the a minimum of fiber. From the outside it might not look like a thing of beauty — it usually has a pale, matte-yellow appearance — but inside the thin peel lies a delight waiting to be discovered.

Pakistani mangoes are primarily consumed in the ethnic (Asian) consumer segment, but there is a growing trend of exports to North America and Europe, premium import markets with a 62 percent share in global mango imports.
