KARACHI:
For the second year in a row, Pakistan is struggling to avoid a possible ban on its fresh food exports to the European Union, according to local media sources.
Last year, when the EU slapped a ban on the import of a few Indian fruits and vegetables because of the presence of flies, it also extended warnings to Pakistan on similar grounds.
Following the threat, the government of Pakistan did well in continuing exports to the EU and avoided a blanket ban by putting in place different quality checks.
