Family fruit, Multan

Chaunsa is the Multan family orchard fruit, including the Shujabad belt. It is not sourced Sindhri. Fruit weight is about 300–500 g. Flesh is pale to deep yellow and without fiber. Skin is yellow-green and can blush red. Brix at ripeness is about 22–24, higher than Sindhri, which is why diaspora and gift buyers pay up for it.

Taste is aromatic, silky, and sweet with a citrus finish. Ship at colour-break so the aroma develops in the market, not in a hot truck in Multan. The reefer set point is 8–12°C. Hot water is 48°C for 60–90 minutes.

Sea, air, and the voyage we refuse

UK sea Chaunsa is the volume program, about 21 days, from late June into August. UK air is three to five days for gift and boutique. UAE sea is about five days with no irradiation. Saudi retail and catering take the fruit on the Saudi desk.

The USA market for this variety is air via Dubai irradiation only. Cities named as arrivals are JFK, LAX, and ORD. We do not quote a sea container of Chaunsa to any US port. Canada air via Dubai is a different sentence. It is not the USA irradiation step.

The April close

Chaunsa allocation closes at the end of April. The book opens on 1 January. White Chaunsa is the later fruit, into September, and it has its own page. Do not use this page to mean the pale late lot.

A 20 percent deposit holds volume. Freight locks only when the proforma says so. Four containers is the private-label minimum for one variety in a season. Artwork is due 60 days before the first shipment.

Papers and the next page

Phytosanitary, Halal, KCCI origin, and the hot-water log travel with the lot. The hot-water page is the bath. The pre-book page is the deposit. The 2027 book is what October is for. The carton spec is the 4 kg box.
