Pakistan’s mango exports are projected to decline by at least 30 percent this year due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Reduced demand in key Gulf markets and significantly increased shipping costs are the primary drivers of this expected downturn. The peak mango season, beginning in June, has been negatively impacted despite Pakistan’s mediation efforts in the regional crisis. Domestic sales are also suffering as rising inflation pressures Pakistani households to cut back on non-essential purchases. Farmers like Mohammad Shakeel fear significant financial losses, with some orchard contractors abandoning leases due to the economic strain. Pakistan, the world’s fourth-largest mango exporter, typically earns around $110 million annually from international sales of its diverse mango varieties, but this revenue is now at risk.
