“The demand for PaK dates has increased considerably in the Valley in view of the forthcoming month of Ramadan. The import of dates is likely to increase further in the coming weeks,” said Muhammad Ashraf Wani, Trade Facilitation Officer Salamabad, Uri, and general manager District Industries Centre, Varmul.

“The goods worth Rs 6.86 crore were imported in 58 trucks that were laden with some other dry fruits as well,” he said.
Meanwhile, he said, consignments worth Rs 3.98 crore were exported in 88 trucks to PaK. The consignments weighing 6700 quintals comprised mostly of coconuts and red chilies, he said.
