Mr,Sohail Khawar, an importer of Pakistani products in the UAE, said that while talking about the import of fresh fruits and vegetables from Pakistan, he said that commercial flights were closed due to the Corona epidemic. In this regard, if the concerned airlines give some concessions to the importers, the price of other seasonal fruits especially Mangoes will come down.
