Osaka: Following the first ground-breaking private sector-to-private sector sale in 2013 and private sector partnership with a leading Japanese corporation in 2014 which introduced the Pakistani mangoes to the Japanese market for the first time in history, the famed King of Fruits mango has arrived in the Japanese market shelves in a massive way attracting very positive response at major stores that are stocking it. According to Mr. Hiroyuki Osaka, Deputy Store Manager, AEON Osaka Dome City Store, the consumers’ response has been overwhelming with shelves being refilled on an hourly basis.
Efforts of the two Commercial Counsellors in Tokyo and Osaka in realizing this two decade-old goal have paid off in a most sweet and refreshing way. The mango, it is planned, would be the first of many wonderful fruits and vegetables that Pakistan is blessed with that will make their way to the Japanese market.
