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.
