1 yuan 1 pound of mango, 2 yuan 1 pound of heart fruit, less than 2 yuan of 1 pound of banana... Do you feel that you can suddenly achieve the feeling of "fruit freedom"?
If you are too lazy to visit the market, you can also place an order directly on the Pakistani e-commerce platform, where the price is almost the same as in the market.
Of course, you'll have to pay some extra shipping.

One of the most famous and delicious fruits of summer in Pakistan is, of course, mango.
Mango is not only the national fruit of Pakistan, but also part of the culture. In the 19th century, the great Urdu and Persian poet Mirza Ghalib described him in his beautiful verses as the "king of fruits" and extolled things like its exotic aromas and the sweetness of honey.
In addition, other fruits such as grapes, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries are also the healthiest, most unique and most delicious fruits of summer in Pakistan.

Pakistani fruits are being exported to China, envying Vietnam and Thailand
Pakistani mangoes began to be exported to China
In recent years, Pakistani fruits have begun to be exported to China.
However, the volume of exports is not large.
In 2021, Pakistan exports its national fruit, mango, to Shanghai, China. But the export volume is not very large, only 100 tons. The reason is that most of its fruits are not yet of the same quality as exported.
Pakistan produces huge fruit throughout the year. Among them, 438,000 tons of mangoes, 525,000 tons of apples, 126,000 tons of fruits such as guava and apricot, and 1.914 million tons of bananas, grapes, pomegranates, pears and dates.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of advanced processing and packaging technology, nearly 50% of fruit is wasted during harvesting, transportation, grading and processing, without adding added value.
If Pakistan improves the overall fruit industry chain and replaces Thai and Vietnamese fruits, it is not impossible.
