Pakistan exports mango to Japan
July 06, 2020
Islamabad, July 6 (INP): Mango export from Pakistan to Japan has started this season, says a press release issued by Japanese embassy here on Monday.
Last year, these exported Pakistani mangoes reached a record high of 120 tons and were favorably received in the Japanese market.
Normally, mango exports to Japan require pre-clearance by Japanese inspectors who are dispatched to Pakistan and other countries following to quarantine regulations. However, the Government of Japan could not dispatch these Japanese inspectors due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year.
In light of this situation, the Government of Japan introduced a temporary measure, which allows mango exports by taking measurements and sending necessary data and documents to Japan for quarantine.
Japan will continue to support Pakistan in the agricultural field such as taking measures against locust control, expanding export of agricultural products, and investment in the food processing sector.
