Pine nuts earned $17.268 million in 99-2000 alone, which is 21.6 per cent of total fruit exports. I believe lot of potential available in this sub-sector and exporters will concentrate and will explore new markets to earn good price. At present Germany is main buyer from Pakistan (22.6 per cent) followed by France (21.6 per cent and Middle East (16.5 per cent). Pakistan earned $19.866 million by export of onion in year 1999-00 mainly to Middle East 44.8 per cent (57,760 thousand kg), followed by Sri Lanka 34.5 per cent, Singapore 6.35 per cent, Bangladesh 5.4 per cent and remaining 9 per cent to other countries. Though quantity wise exports increased by 89 per cent as compare to last year 98-99, but there is a sharp decline of 20.4 per cent value wise.
