                    [Summary] => 



Mango exporters are urging the Philippine government to push for reduced or even zero tariffs for their products in the ongoing free trade agreement (FTA) negotiations between South Korea and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).


This after South Korea, which does not produce mango, included mango in its list of sensitive or exclusion list under the ASEAN-Sokor FTA (AKFTA). If South Korea will have its way, this will delay the reduction of duties on mangoes until 2012.
