India recently sent its first-ever sea shipment of premium Sangola and Bhagwa pomegranates to Australia, facilitated by APEDA. The shipment, weighing 5.7 MT from Maharashtra’s Solapur region, arrived in Sydney in January 2025. This marked a significant milestone in India's fruit export sector. The positive market response, coupled with India's ANARNET traceability system, helped enhance export credibility. The initiative also led to a 29% year-on-year increase in fresh fruit exports, underlining the growing demand for Indian produce in global markets.
