Jun 10, 2025 News Image India targets growth in organic food exports
During Indusfood 2025 in Greater Noida, Dev pointed out that India's agriculture export ranks as the seventh-largest worldwide. Nevertheless, it represents 2.4 per cent of the $2 trillion global agricultural trade, showcasing opportunities for Indian exporters to enhance their market presence. The valuation of India's agricultural exports approximated $50 billion in 2023–24, with ongoing initiatives aiming to exceed this in the current fiscal. Dev noted a strategic pivot towards exporting value-added products instead of raw commodities. In the organic sector, India's contribution to the $147 billion global market is about 2.5 per cent. APEDA aims to expand this share significantly over five years, with exports growing steadily from $213 million in 2012–13 to $495 million in 2023–24.

Jun 09, 2025 News Image Eye on strong export advantage, India not keen to dent Turkey trade ties with curbs
“We have received a number of representations to ban imports from Turkey. Apple-growers from Himachal Pradesh have sought a ban on apple imports from Turkey. But India runs a trade surplus with Turkey and we have to keep in mind our exporters’ interests too. It (a trade ban) could be a strong geopolitical message, but it’s about how far you want to take it,” a Government official told The Indian Express. The trade surplus assumes significance as India’s outbound shipments to Turkey largely consist of industrial exports, such as engineering goods, electronics, and organic and inorganic chemicals, which have increased over the past five years. In contrast, Turkey’s exports to India are largely limited to fruits, nuts, gold and marble. Turkey had also stepped up petroleum product imports from India following the Ukraine war but this category has seen a significant decline in FY25.
