Floods put South Punjab’s mango orchards at risk of decades-long losses Labourers pluck mangoes from trees at a farm on the outskirts of Hyderabad in Pakistan´s southern Sindh province on May 31, 2025.— AFP MULTAN: The devastating floods in South Punjab have left mango growers in despair, as millions of trees remain submerged, endangering one of the region’s most prized and painstakingly nurtured crops. Growers said large tracts of orchards have been surrounded by floodwater for more than a week. Experts have warned that if waterlogging persists for another 15–20 days, thousands of trees could wither, causing irreparable losses. Mango trees, the hallmark of Multan’s agriculture, take eight to ten years to mature before yielding fruit, making their loss particularly devastating. https://10bmnews.com/latest-news/floods-put-south-punjabs-mango-orchards-at-risk-of-decades-long-losses/
