Kinnow is juicier than orange and has more sour taste; while oranges are known to be sweet in their taste.Grown in Pakistan and demanded all over the world, the juicy, soft, scented and refreshing Kinnow offers ease of peeling and juice content is unequalled by citrus fruit anywhere else in the world. This is primarily due to the soil constituency and climate under which it grows. This environment is available in Punjab, Pakistan from November to March.

    Peaches (Prunus persica), like apricots, belong to the genus Prunus of Rosaceate (rose) family having decorative pink blossoms and a juicy, sweet drupe fruit. They are categorized as “stone fruit”, their seed being enclosed in a hard, stone-like endocarp. Peach originated in China, later introduced into Persia. Commercially grown peaches are generally distinguished as clingstone (pit adheres to flesh) or freestone (pit relatively free of the flesh).

    China is the leading peach producing country with about 37% share of the total world production followed by the United States and Italy. More than half of this consumption was as fresh; this is likely to increase because of the popularity of fresh-cut fruits in recent years. In Pakistan the environment of N.W.F.P is quite favourable for peach production in April,May and June .
