Pakistan ranks as the 12th largest citrus producer in the world, with an annual production of approximately 2.4 million tonnes, according to the embassy figures.
Of this, around 400,000 tonnes of kinnows are exported to markets worldwide, supported by internationally recognised Global GAP and HACCP quality certifications.
The festival also highlights Pakistan’s expanding agricultural exports, backed by the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), which continues to promote Pakistani fruit in global markets. Citrus exports, particularly kinnows, generated an estimated $328.5 million in export revenues during 2024–2025, reflecting growing international demand.
The event aims to provide residents and visitors with a unique platform to experience the quality and diversity of Pakistani agricultural products in a traditional market setting.
