Agri exports dip 4 pc in Apr.-Aug.
 
India’s exports of agricultural and processed food products in the first five months of FY25 declined by 4% to $ 9.69 billion on year primarily because of a fall in rice shipments due to restrictions imposed last year.  Of items under the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) basket, shipments of meat, dairy and poultry products, fresh fruits and vegetables and cereals preparations saw a spike during April-August, 2024-25 compared to FY24. The shipment of meat and dairy products rose by 6.88% on year to a record $1.8 billion during April-August of the current fiscal against the value of exports of $ 1.69 billion during the same period in 2022-23. The exports of fruits and vegetables in the April-August period of the current fiscal rose by 3.83% to $ 1.4 billion compared to the same period last year, as per a report.
