Multani Mangoes

Multan is well known for its mangoes. It produces one of the best mangoes in the world. There are many varieties of mangoes being produced and mango farms are undoubtedly the most common sight in the suburbs of Multan. The hot weather and abundant well irrigated fertile land assures unprecedented taste for these mangoes. Chaunsa, Langra, Anwar ratol, Dusairi, Fajri, Desi and Sindhri are some of the many mango varieties currently being cultivated in Multan.

The mangoes produced here are probably the sweetest on the globe and a large portion of the cultivation is exported to many different countries including America, England, Canada, Saudia Arabia and Japan. Recently a modern mango processing plant has been setup with help from US-AID which will ensure fast packaging of the mangoes for export purposes. It is a very nice initiative because many people in this area rely solely on these mango farms for their annual income. Steps like these can help them to go hi tech and reach new markets.
The mango season comes in summer and extends from the month of May to September. Some late varieties have also been developed which come in October.
