The world’s greatest, sweetest, most perfect mangoes are grown in Pakistan. But although the U.S. is the world's second largest importer of mangoes, the prized Pakistani fruits are almost impossible to get here
The first Pakistani mangoes to hit U.S. shores were irradiated in Iowa before finally being consumed at a diplomaticShah had never ordered mangoes off WhatsApp but said she’d be comfortable doing so; she’s already ordered clothes, cookies, jewelry, and more by messaging merchants in her hometown of Lahore.
Call up your local Pakistani or desi supermarket and ask! Stores in Chicago, New York, Detroit, Houston, LA, and other cities have reported availability in the past. By contrast, Mexican mangoes are just trucked over the border in appropriate packaging, and some loads even bypass the irradiation process. But it’s not irradiation that makes Pakistani mangoes expensive; a significant number of Mexican mangoes are also irradiated. The difference is that the Mexican mangoes ride on trucks while the Pakistani ones fly. And it’s that cost of transportation, in the view of many of the scientists and middlemen I spoke to, that accounts for the higher price.
The main proposal to cut down on distribution time is to irradiate the mangoes in Pakistan so the mangoes can go directly to consumers as soon as they arrive here, rather than traveling by land from a U.S. airport to the closest irradiation facility, as they do now. Lahore does actually have a USDA-approved irradiationintended for use by exports to the U.S.; it was inaugurated in 2019 with support from U.S.
