fruitsLucknow:The Indian fruit market has always been a thriving one. Our country has its fair share of diverse fruits which have made their way in and strongly stamped their authority on our eating habits. Think fresh mango chutneys accompanying every meal at the onset of summer, banana leaves ensconcing fish preparations, lip-smacking tangy fruit chaats as evening snacks and endless hours spent in the winter sun peeling and gorging on juicy oranges. Lately, however, the demand for ‘exotic fruits’ is on the rise. No, the humble but full-of-nutrition banana is certainly not out of vogue and the mango still remains a favourite summer treat, but Indian consumers are fast seeking out more, and therefore a steep rise in import of fresh fruits has been witnessed recently.

It currently imports 3.50 lakh metric tonnes of fruits per annum, worth about ₹3,000 crore, which is expected to increase to 4,000 crore in two-three years. From a minuscule figure a few years ago, India’s annual import of fresh fruit is steadily growing.  A recent report shows that kiwifruit import has been growing at a magnificent 60 per cent annually, along with citrus fruits at 30 per cent and apples at 20 per cent respectively.  New Zealand is the largest supplier of Fresh-Fruit accounting for imports worth USD 703,890.79 followed by Chile and Vietnam which exported Fresh-Fruit worth USD 248,810.06 and USD 165,005.69 respectively.
