USA Permits Import Of Indian Mangoes And Pomegranates As India Allows Entry Of American Cherries And Pork
A Representative Image
The United States of America (USA) has relaxed norms to facilitate imports of Indian mangoes and pomegranates, Times of India (TOI) reports.
In a quid pro quo arrangement, India has agreed to permit the entry of American cherries, pork and Alfalfa in the domestic market.
Several restrictions have been placed on exporting Indian mangoes to the USA for the last couple of years.
However, the shackles on this trade were removed following a meeting between Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and United States Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai.
“Mango and pomegranate exports will start from January-February 2022 and pomegranate aril exports from April 2022. Exports of Alfalfa hay and cherries from USA will begin in April 2022,” an official statement from the ministry read.
Accordingly, the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying is prepared to provide market access for the pork from the USA. The department has thus intimated the American administration to share a signed copy of the final sanitary certificate with them so that the deal could be wrapped up.
