10 Jul, 2025 News Image Data focus. Bananas, mangoes and potatoes can be the drivers of agri-exports, says ICRIER Study.
India faces a strange situation when it comes to export of agricultural products. Despite being a global leader in the production of various crops, it is unable to tap the huge export opportunity globally where there is a huge demand for convenience foods and premium tropical fruits. Though agri exports have contributed about $50 billion annually over the past three financial years, staple commodities such as rice and sugar did the heavy lifting. This reliance on a few blockbuster crops reflects the need to diversify the export basket. Doing so would not only help meet the export targets set by the government by 2030, it will also unlock the untapped potential of high-value fresh produce, which contributes little to the export kitty despite being global leaders in production.

10 Jul, 2025 News Image India-US trade pact: ‘Deal with India close,’ says Trump; slaps 25–40% reciprocal tariffs on 14 nations largely ASEAN.
US President Donald Trump on Monday said the United States is 'close to signing a trade deal' with India, after announcing new reciprocal tariffs on 14 countries — including Bangladesh, Malaysia, Japan, Cambodia and South Korea — setting rates at 25 to 40 per cent, and warning that rerouting foreign goods or retaliating would attract even higher US tariffs.
