Pakistan produces a wide variety of fruits with total annual production estimated at 7.14 million tons in the year 2005-06 Among fruits, citrus is leading in term of production followed by mango, dates and guava. Fruit and vegetable export trade in Pakistan generates an amount of US$ 134 million (2003/04), of which fruits account for US$ 102.7 million (76.6%). Importance 6. Fruits and vegetables have a great potential to be the source of economic growth and income generation with small farmers as major beneficiaries. Pakistan has a comparative advantage in the production of high value non-traditional crops. This potential is not being fully exploited especially at farm level. Main constraints Main constraints are absence of policies favoring growers and ineffective and varying approaches towards regulation of product quality. 7. Main constraints Although mechanized grading and packaging has started but still due to lack of proper technology in the country, nearly 35 percent of total fruit and vegetable production is lost during harvesting, transportation, preservation and storage. Lack of a sufficient number of processing units and other preservation facilities had also hindered the process of value-addition, ultimately affecting the countrys export potential in fresh farm and fruits sector. 8. Traditional Fruit Processing Industry The traditional fruit processing industries preserve a large quantity of various fruits, by using traditional methods of preservation. The fruits are dehydrated, by exposing them to strong sunshine and hot wind. The estimated quantities of fruits preserved in this traditional manner are given below: 9.

Modern Fruits Processing Industry Fruits and vegetables are being processed by many companies in Pakistan. There are more than 200 Food Processing units, producing confectionary and biscuits, jam jellies and squashes, extruded snacks and potato chips, beverages, dehydrated fruits and vegetables, for local consumption and export. 11. Most of the fruit and vegetable production is consumed in fresh form. However, there is a small fruit and vegetable processing industry, which is concentrated around the major cities. There are 25 small and medium industrial units, having an estimated capacity of 45,000 metric ton, engaged in the production of squashes, jams and jellies, pickles and a small quantity of canned fruits and vegetables. 12. The production of canned fruits is estimated at 15,000 metric ton. jams, jellies and marmalades at 2,000 metric tons . pickles and sauces at 10,000 metric tons. syrup and squashes at 18,000 million bottles. 13. Most of the producers of these products are based in the urban areas. Approximately 30 fruit juice pulp processing plants with an installed capacity of 500,000 metric ton per annum are engaged in the production of fruit juices and fruit drinks. 14.
