Pakistan produces about 8 per cent of the world's citrus fruits but sells out only 0.5 per cent of its harvest abroad. These fruits are grown nearly in all the four provinces in varying proportions. But then the product is concentrated in Punjab which grows 95 per cent of the national output. And it is the Sargodha which alone accounts for 70 per cent of the provincial production.

The popular varieties grown in Punjab include oranges, Red Blood, Mausami, Ruby Red , Jaffa , Fruiter, Malta, limes and lemons. Approximately about 60 per cent of total citrus production is comprised of mandarin, popularly known as 'Kinnow'. Quality wise, 'Kinnow' is the most important variety. It is relished both domestically and internationally for its flavour. It is golden in colour and has a thin loose skin. This variety has been obtained through the cross-breeding of two other varieties 'King' and 'Will Leaf'.

The season of availability starts from mid-October and extends normally upto March with the peak occurring in mid January.. The advent and use of controlled atmosphere cold storage, have, however made it possible to sell citrus fruit as late as April extending the market season considerably in fresh condition. Our production capacity is 1.28 m tons per season. In Pakistan the kinnow is grown under totally natural conditions to enhance the original flavour of the fruit and to preserve its fundamental goodness.

Kinnow, a King-Willowleaf mandarin hybrid, was developed at the University of California Research Center, Riverside by H. B. Frost in 1915 and released in 1935. Kinnow is the most widely-planted mandarin in Pakistan. The tree grows vigorously and has an upright form, with a strong tendency to alternate bearing. The fruit is oblate with a smooth orange rind that does not peel especially well for a mandarin. The flesh is orange, seedy, and has a rich distinctive flavor. Kinnow is mid-season in maturity and holds well on the tree.
