Delay in US entry of Pakistani mangoes expected

The delay in launching Pakistan’s first food irradiation plant at Lahore would deprive the country of exporting mangoes to United States this season.

**US had indicated interest in importing mangoes from Pakistan provided the quarantine requirements i.e. pest management at the orchard level and irradiation as post-harvest treatment against fruit fly infestations, met United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) requirements. The Government of Pakistan therefore started project to build such irradiation plant 2 years ago which is not yet completed yet. **

The orchards and radiation plant were to be inspected and approved by the USDA inspectors however at this point of time no preparation has been made for such inspection due to incompletion and we expect that this season US would not be able to have Pakistani mangoes.

Whatever but thanks for the good information.

If Canada and England have no problem then why should US???

Hope Pakistani Mangoes are available freely in any major city in US. Can’t wait for enjoying yummy Pakistani magoes without a need of traveling.
