Addressing a seminar titled ‘Export of Mango to French Market’ here on Tuesday, Mango Growers Association, Multan president, Major (Retd) Tariq said that only disease-free mango should be sent to the French market or other European countries by taking special care of the rules and regulations of theirs. Agriculture experts from Faisalabad and Multan informed the progressive mango growers that Pakistan was the fifth largest mango producer in the world and its mango export earning was far below than its potential due to the issues involved in the post-harvest handling of the fruit. A kilogram of mango can fetch Rs 350 from French market if all requirements of the importing country are met, they added. Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) president Muhammad Khan Saddozai said that mango exporters must avail the advisory services of MCCI to enhance exports.
