Combined, the Agricultural Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), National Crop Protection Organization (NPPO), Maharashtra State Board of Agricultural Marketing, Pomegranate Research Centre, Solapur, and INI Farms Pvt. Ltd. have initiated the export of pomegranates to the US on a pilot basis.
The inaugural shipment was flagged off by APEDA's General Manager, Vinita Sudhanshu, at the Irradiation Facility Center in Vashi, Navi Mumbai. This strategic move is aimed at exploring the American market's potential and creating new opportunities for pomegranate exporters.
