The statement quoted the minister as saying, “India’s products are being preferred all over the world…whatever the world demands, we can fulfill it.”
Vivek Agarwal, chairman, Food and Beverage Committee of TPCI, said India’s exports of agricultural and processed food products grew by more than 20 per cent in April-December 2021-22 as compared to the same period of 2020-21.
India accounts for only 2 per cent of the global exports of food products. Therefore, the region has great potential to be included in the top 10 largest global markets.
