Multani Mangoes: Fruit from the Multan Belt
'Multani' is a regional descriptor, not a variety name. This page explains what it usually refers to in a UK mango context.
Why this matters
The wholesale market chain frequently uses 'Multani' loosely. A short factual page is more useful than another marketing rewrite.
What 'Multani' refers to
In Pakistan, Multani is a shorthand for mangoes grown across the Multan division of central Punjab, which includes districts around Multan, Khanewal and Vehari. The dominant export varieties from this region are Chaunsa and Langra.
Why the region matters
Central Punjab has hot, dry summers, alluvial soils along the Indus system, and generations of orchard experience. Fruit from the region tends to have a denser texture and pronounced aroma compared with the same cultivar grown in cooler areas.
Varieties available from the Multan belt
Chaunsa in three sub-cultivars, White Chaunsa in June, main-season Chaunsa in July, and Honey Chaunsa through August, plus Langra through August. The shop page shows which of these are open for reservation in any given week.
How a carton reaches the UK
Cartons from the Multan belt are packed at the relevant Punjab orchard shortly after harvest, consolidated at the Lahore or Karachi export shed, and loaded onto scheduled airfreight. On arrival in the UK they clear standard fresh-produce customs, then move to our fulfilment hub for onward tracked courier dispatch across mainland UK, normally Monday to Thursday.
