ISLAMABAD: United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will hold mango gala on July 24 in which the US officials and farmers will brief about the development in the agriculture sector especially in exports of mangoes.
The USAID mission director, representatives of the Agricultural Market Development (AMD) project and farmers who are exporting mangoes to international markets will brief about the development in the agriculture sector, says a press release issued here on Friday. Pakistan-US partnership for Agricultural Market Development (AMD) activity in Pakistan is a USAID-funded programme started in February 2015. The project aims to support the development of Pakistan’s commercial agriculture. In particular, USAID accomplished this project through improving the ability of Pakistan’s agriculture and livestock sectors to meet both international and domestic demand and requirements in targeted product lines in citrus, mango, high value and off season vegetables and livestock.
USAID, through its Agricultural Market Development (AMD) project, is increasing access to new markets for Pakistani mango farmers, while ensuring better prices through improving compliance with international grading standards and export protocols.
