Mango of opportunity

Mangoes from Pakistan may soon enter the U.S. market. This strikes me as a reach, but I confess I know nothing of the attributes of the Pakistani mango v. Mexican mango or Brazil mango. According to this story, one issue that must be overcome is the long boat ride to the U.S., and the fact that air shipments are not economically viable. The fruit would be irradiated by
Pakistan Radiation Services in a facility expected to be ready by next March.
