Since mango season is at its peak, mangoes from different parts of world can be seen for sale at stores around Dubai.
I love mangoes and I used to enjoy best quality mangoes while I lived in Pakistan. It is believed that Pakistan produces some of the best mangoes in the world.
In Dubai, I came across these mangoes from Pakistan for sale at Carrefour.

In case the picture doesn’t do justice, these are the worst quality mangoes I have ever seen. They were also the cheapest of all. Nevertheless, we decided to buy a couple out of patriotism, but when we cut one the next day, there were worms in it. Imagine that.
On the contrary, below is a picture of mangoes from India being sold in the same store.

As apparent, the quality of these mangoes was superior. They also tasted pretty good, though not as good as Pakistani mangoes I enjoyed while living in Pakistan.
So the point of this post is that someone in Pakistan is not doing their job properly, since the country that produces best mangoes in the world is exporting such a bad quality fruit, that also with worms in it. Not a good way to promote your country. If India who is farther away from Dubai can export quality produce here then why can’t Pakistan do the same.
