KARACHI: The first consignment of cherries was dispatched to China on 5th June through refereed container. The success in export of fresh cherries from Pakistan is the fruit of the Phyto sanitary agreement signed between China and Pakistan in 2022, wherein China had granted market access to Pakistan for export of fresh cherries.

Immediately after the signing of protocol, Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) and Department of Plant Protection (DPP) assisted eligible orchard owners in registering with General Administration of Chinese Customs.

Pakistan Horticulture Development & Export Company (PHDEC) also conducted cherry product development activities aimed to educate farmers on the adoption of sound agricultural practices that can significantly increase production and fruit size, especially for renowned varieties like black and French cherries

With these efforts more than 100 cherry orchards, a cold store and packing house at Rahim Abad are registered with GACC. The approval of the cherry orchards and the processing facility led to the expedition vis-a-vis export of fresh cherries to China.

National Logistic Cell (NLC) has provided required refereed containers. It is pertinent to mention that logistic cost of cherry export is meeting through Export Development Fund (EDF).
