MULTAN: The Pakistan Fruit and Vegetable Exporters Association has demanded the government resolve export issues of international markets, including Indonesia, Afghanistan and Iran. Talking to The News, PFVA patron-in-chief Mian Waheed Ahmed said that Afghanistan had imposed duty on 100,000 tonne of Pakistani exported Kinnow, which was a response as Pakistan had also imposed duty on trade to Afghanistan.
He appealed to the Ministry of Commerce that the duty imposed on Afghan products by Pakistan should be reviewed to promote Pak-Afghan trade. He said that the quota of Pakistani Kinnow by Indonesian government was going to expire on December 30, 2020, and if it was expired, Pakistan would be deprived of Indonesian market.
