Kinnow exporters to be provided more incentives
June 21, 2013
The government is optimistic about increasing the quantum of citrus fruit exports (especially Kino) and will devise a policy providing more incentives to exporters, Ministers of State Sheikh Aftab Ahmed said. He was replying to a call-attention notice moved by Mohsin Shah Nawaz Ranjha about inordinate delay in export of Kino.
The state minister said that the delay had occurred because exporters had decided in a meeting held on November 8 last year to stop the export of Kino. However, he said that the export had resumed on Decmber 1 last year. He said that Iran was a large buyer of Pakistani kino, adding that the country missed export target in 2012.
