As the summer season is at full bloom these days in Pakistan, Mangoes are automatically at full swing. Belonging to the Anacardiaceae family and is known as Mangifera Indica, mangoes hold a prominent place in the commercial
fruits of Pakistan. Mango fruit is enriched with 10-20% sugar, vitamins
A, B and C, some proteins, calcium, phosphorus and iron.
Primarily loved for their taste, different varieties are also famous for their color, smell and nutritious value.

Ripe
fruit is better than anything when chilled at the best temperature and
is eaten fresh, while unripe fruit is also utilized in making pickles.
As per the FAO production 2001 year book, Pakistan stands FIFTH among mango growing countries of the World. A limited supply of mangoes is produced every year and even
if all of this production reaches to the consumers, per head per day
availability of fruit is meager 114 grams. I believe that is the reason
that mango prices are so high that its availability is limited to a
couple of days in a month instead of everyone eating it daily ;)
Different varieties of Pakistani mango is exported around the globe fetching valuable foreign exchange.
Some of the most-loved mango varieties include Langra, Dusehri, Samar
Behisht, Chaunsa, Anwar Ratol, Sindhri, Bagan Pali, Suwarneka, Neelum
and Gulab Khas.
The 4 varieties shown on the stamps include
Anwar Ratol, Dusehri, Chaunsa and Sindhri. You can see the differences
in their size, color and shape but unfortunately you can not experience
their taste online. You will have to come to Pakistan to do that or ask a
Pakistani friend to help you get them where you are.
The set of stamps and First Day Cover (FDC) were issued on 18 June 2002.
