Pakistan will start sending nearly 34.5 tonnes of mangoes to 76 countries from July 2. The initiative comes under the Prime Minister Mango Diplomacy 2026 programme. Moreover, official documents from the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan confirmed the planned shipments.
The government will dispatch 34,480 kilograms of mangoes in 6,896 boxes. Each box will contain five kilograms of premium-quality mangoes. Furthermore, the consignments will reach heads of state, governments, and other distinguished foreign dignitaries.
MG Agri Foods (Pvt.) Ltd., based in Khanewal, will manage the mango exports. Meanwhile, Al Raaziq International (Pvt.) Ltd. will handle freight forwarding for the diplomatic deliveries.
Major Recipients Receive Largest Mango Allocations
Saudi Arabia will receive the largest allocation of 3,500 kilograms. Türkiye will receive 2,250 kilograms, while the United Kingdom and China will each receive 2,000 kilograms.
Additionally, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates will each receive 1,500 kilograms. Bahrain will receive 1,375 kilograms, followed by the United States with 1,250 kilograms. Kuwait and Oman will each receive 1,000 kilograms. Meanwhile, Iran will receive 875 kilograms, and Kazakhstan will receive 800 kilograms.
Authorities Finalize Logistics for Smooth Dispatch
TDAP has directed the Department of Plant Protection to support the operation. Likewise, airport managers, customs authorities, and the Anti-Narcotics Force will ensure smooth processing. The authority also requested focal persons’ contact details for better coordination.
Most shipments will depart through Lahore, Multan, and Islamabad international airports. However, flight schedule confirmations will determine the final dispatch arrangements.
Official correspondence states the consignments carry no commercial value. Instead, Pakistan will send them solely for diplomatic goodwill and international promotion under the government’s annual mango diplomacy campaign.
