India: Retail Foods

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   IN2021-0079

Despite the challenges delivered by the COVID-19 pandemic, India’s food retail sector continues to grow rapidly thanks to the expanding presence of modern retail outlets and e-retail platforms in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and rising consumer demand for convenience, value, safety/hygiene, and healthy foods. Opportunities for U.S. exporters exist in consumer-oriented products, especially tree nuts, fruits, and packaged/processed foods.
