Pakistan eager to boost fruit exports

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for National Food Security and Research Sahibzada Muhammad Mehboob Sultan has expressed the desire to boost trade between Pakistan and Tajikistan as the former produces the world’s best kinnows and mangoes. In a meeting with Tajikistan Ambassador Jononov Sherali on Wednesday, he agreed to hold a meeting of the Pakistan-Tajikistan Ministerial Commission by April this year to discuss matters of mutual benefit in the agriculture sector. The federal minister said Tajikistan must consider the import of Pakistani mangoes as the Central Asian state was already importing dairy products, sugar and potato from Pakistan.
