Our position
Why PakMango.Com
PakMango.Com is the UK's Pakistani mango specialist. We are not a hamper company that also does mangoes. We are not a cash-and-carry that also does delivery. We are not a supermarket that adds a Pakistani row in July. Here are the seven decisions that explain the difference.
- 01
We name the farmer on every carton
Every PakMango.Com carton ships with an orchard card naming the grower, the orchard, the harvest week, and the UK arrival date. If we can't name the family, we don't ship the fruit. Cash-and-carry boxes can't tell you that. Supermarket imports won't.
- 02
We don't pre-ripen, gas, or shoulder-pick
Every Chaunsa, Sindhri, Anwar Ratol, Langra and Dosehri PakMango.Com ships is tree-picked at orchard maturity by the family that owns the trees. We don't accept fruit cut green for the boat trade. We don't accept fruit ripened in calcium-carbide chambers. We don't accept volume.
- 03
Airfreight, not sea, every week of the season
Pakistani mangoes do not survive a four-week ocean container. The ones that do arrive woody and disappointing. PakMango.Com uses scheduled airfreight from Karachi and Lahore every week of the harvest window. The price reflects it. The fruit reflects it more.
- 04
One orchard, uncompromised quality
We only offer the volume each orchard can supply at our quality standard. We don't backfill from a lesser grove and pretend it's the same carton.
- 05
We pay growers above the national benchmark
PakMango.Com pays its orchard partners between 22% and 45% above the relevant Pakistani wholesale benchmark. We treat this as the price of being able to call ourselves a specialist.
- 06
We tell you when something has gone wrong
If a consignment is delayed, a carton arrives bruised, or a harvest is light on a particular variety, we email every affected customer within four hours. Customers do not chase us. We chase them.
- 07
Single category, single country, single season
We sell Pakistani mangoes in the Pakistani mango season. We do not pad the year with chia seeds, gift hampers, or Mexican fruit. The business stops in October and starts in May. That is the entire product.
