Kinnow Export from Pakistan

Origin and season

Kinnow from Pakistan is grown in the Punjab citrus belt. PHDEC names hubs at Sargodha, Toba Tek Singh, Multan and Layyah, and names Sargodha as the major producer. A PHDEC workshop on 10 December 2024 names Bhalwal as a major Kinnow-producing hub. The TDAP Kinnow export report says processing units for export are concentrated mostly in Sargodha (Bhalwal). The TDAP citrus brochure (2022) also names citrus areas at Khanewal and Fateh Jhang in Punjab, and at Swat, Swabi, Khanpur and Haripur in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The TDAP Report on Export of Kinnow states that the harvesting season lasts for four months, starting from mid December to mid of April. The same report states that the season of Kinnow in Pakistan starts from December and lasts till April. A PHDEC workshop on 10 December 2024 refers to the ongoing Kinnow export season, which runs until April.

A PHDEC webinar on 21 November 2024 said citrus harvesting was in progress and would continue till the end of March. A PHDEC webinar on 6 March 2025 said the harvest season was nearing its conclusion.

PHDEC gives a supply window of November to March.
