imageISLAMABAD: Pakistan will export 50,000 tons Kinnow (Orange) to Indonesia during the present season, December 2015 to April 2016.

According to official sources, Kinnow exports to Indonesia surged from US $ 3 million in 2013 to US $ 19.3 million in 2014, after coming into effect of the Mutual Recognition Agreement on sanitary and phyto-sanitary measures for agricultural products and grant of Pest Free Area Recognition for Pakistan's Kinnow allowing entry through Tanjung Priok Port of Jakarta.

In addition, the waiver of customs duty on import of Pakistani Kinnow under the Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA) has resulted in further increase of shipments.

The export of Kinnow to Indonesia, thus, reached US $ 23 million in 2015 and was expected to be around US $ 27?30 million in 2016.

As per details Kinnow consignments have started reaching in Jakarta, Indonesia, through Tanjung Priok Port and in Surabaya, with the first consignment arrived in third week of December 2015.

The Kinnow (Orange) is being sold daily in wet grocery markets and all the leading hypher markets, super markets and retail chains including Carrefour, Ranch Market, Giant, Hypermart, Farmer's Market, Food Hall and Lotte' Mart of Indonesia.

To ensure continuation of Kinnow export to Indonesia, the Pakistan Embassy in Jakarta had arranged a visit by the Indonesian Agriculture Quarantine Agency team to Pakistan in November 2015 to renew Pest Free Area Recognition for Pakistan's Kinnow and inspected 6 Pakistani laboratories for registration, to help in agricultural products exports to Indonesia.
