Kinnow mandarins have been hit by viruses in the fields in Pakistan. This reduced the export quality of the kinnow mandarins, which mainly go to the Russian market.
“The kinnow export will be reduced by 40% this year,” said Saleem Sadruddin from Sadruddin. “We have just 60% of export quality left for the Russian market and we’ll have to see what the prices are going to do.”
The season will start the end of November and luckily the earthquake did not harm the kinnow harvest and export any further.
