India: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

FAS New Delhi forecasts marketing year (MY) 2018/19 declines in fresh apple imports of approximately 9 percent year-over-year reaching 0.23 million metric tons (MMT). FAS New Delhi estimates declines in pear imports of 4 percent year-on-year to 14,000 metric tons (MT). Import declines are largely due to significant rupee depreciation, Indian trade concerns about the global trade outlook, and a temporary ban on Chinese apples and pears from entry into the Indian market. India will remain a major exporter of fresh table grapes. FAS New Delhi projects MY 2018/19 table grape exports to increase by 6 percent year-over-year to 0.18 MMT from 0.17 MMT in MY 2017/18.
