In 2011, the mango import from Pakistan was allowed for the first time in many years. The process required processing the mango at a facility in Iowa before it was approved for commercial distribution. mangozz.com teamed up with other importers to make this happen. On August 15th, the first commercial shipment to the US from Pakistan was shipped to the customers of mangozz.com. Our hope was that we could encourage import of the mango by working with other like-minded people- we shared our expertise freely with other importers.

It now seems that it is again upto us to take this to the next level. For starters, we had requested Sadex to allow us to bring in our independent shipments and have them processed on 9/16 and possibly 9/23 or 9/30. Sadex has approved both these dates, provided we fulfill some conditions. We are working on those at present. Since now we don't have to depend on others, we are quite confident that more mango from Multan in Pakistan will be available to our customers before the 2011 mango season is over.

Presently, white Chausa is available in Pakistan for another 3 more weeks. That should be just enough to get our shipments. We are trying to streamline the operations and hope to have distribution in place for next year when we can import more varieties of mango from Pakistan.

So stay tuned. All pending shipments of Chausa mango will be shipped to mangozz.com customers on 9/16/2011. So feel free to place your orders. We have also learnt a lot of things about the Chausa mango from our last shipment. We will be using the data to improve the quality of the fruit in our next shipment.
