The PFVA patron-in-chief warned that the prolonged winter and delayed arrival of summer have resulted in declining mango production and weakened disease-fighting capabilities in mango orchards. Shah expressed caution regarding mango exports, noting a gloomy export scene due to economic restrictions and informal trade practices. Punjab accounts for 70% of Pakistan’s mango production, while Sindh contributes 29%, and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) holds a 1% share, he said.
