Pakistan Horticulture Development and Export Company (PHDEC) chief executive officer (CEO) Bashir Hussain said the freight charges was Rs 300 per kilogramme (kg) while the ship fare was only Rs 25 per kg, which would help enhance the trade volume to many proportion as the US has already permitted Pakistani exporters to send the mango fruit. “In this way, we will be able to capture most of the portion of the total US mango import of 650,000 tonnes,” he added. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2011%5C08%5C04%5Cstory_4-8-2011_pg10_2 |
