In the first year of operations, Peru has exported avocados worth over $70,000 to India. This is about 11 percent of the fruits total export, according to a statement from the Peruvian Embassy.
The embassy stated that the total exports of avocados to India touched $650,000 in 2017-18, a year-on-year jump of 70.33 percent while the Peruvian fruits share was 10.8 percent.
Peruvian avocados began entering the Indian market from September 2017 by air and the first maritime container arrived at Mumbais Nhava Sheva port in July this year. The countrys avocados export to India in 2018-19 will most probably cross $200,000.
The embassy cited data available with Indias Commerce Ministry to show that total avocados import by India was worth USD 140,000 in 2015-16 and worth $380,000 in 2016-17. In 2017-18, it increased by 70.33 percent to $650,000.
Luis Cabello, Commercial and Economic Counsellor of Peru in India, said selling Peruvian avocados in Indian supermarkets was difficult but the promotion of the fruit had borne fruit. "The Indian market is quickly turning into a conscious, healthy consumer market and we will ensure that more of our superfoods continue to enter the market."
According to business-standard.com, Peru’s 2017 avocado production grew 27 percent compared to 2016, making the country the worlds second largest producer.
