Thanks to the successful negotiations between an Indian agency and the
Canadian government, Indian banana and baby corn can now be exported
there, officials said on Saturday.
"The negotiations
between National Plant Protection Organisations of India and Canada on
market access for Indian Banana and Baby corn resulted in Canadian
market access for these commodities. Secretary, Department of
Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, Manoj Ahuja held a meeting with
Canadian High Commissioner Cameron MacKay on April 7 wherein this was
cleared," an official said.
Canada informed that export of fresh
baby corn from India to Canada may begin from April 2022 after updation
of directive D-95-28: Plant Protection Import and Domestic Movement
Requirements for Corn and the Automated Import Reference System (AIRS).
Further,
based on the technical information provided for fresh bananas by India,
Canada has approved its entry with immediate effect.
"This
decision of the government of Canada would immensely benefit the Indian
farmers growing these crops and would also enhance India's export
earnings," an official said.
India is the largest producer of bananas accounting for over 25 per cent of global production.
Government
data showed that fruits and vegetables exports were up by 12 per cent
to touch $1,676 million in 2021-22 against $1,492 million in 2020-21,
while processed fruits and vegetables exports were up by 7 per cent to
reach $1,202 million in 2021-22 against $1,120 million in the previous
year.
