Vice President Pakistan Businesses Forum (PBF), Ahmad Jawad has said that the federal government authorities are not even ready to raise the quota issue with their Indonesian counterparts as the island country issues a quota at a time when kinnow season is about to end here, regardless we have suggested barter trade with Indonesia, selling kinnow against large palm oil imports, but to no avail. He said, recently imposed import duty by Afghanistan government on Pakistani kinnows will also upsetting the 100,000-tons market to exporters, despite two countries remain in talks. Talking to media here on Thursday, Ahmad Jawad said that currently Afghanistan impose custom duty at 30 percent on kinnow at the import side which made it difficult to achieve kinnow export target.
