The spokesperson of Pakistan Fruit and Vegetable Exporters Association said that for the first time in the country's history, the export of onions has reached a record level, which is the highest in the history of any product including fruits and vegetables.
According to the spokesman, from July 2023 to April 2024, the export of onion from the country was recorded more than 210 million dollars, while earlier in the history of the country, there were only more exports of orange, which was 210 million dollars. He stated that by the end of this year, the export of onions will reach 250 million dollars.
