Maharashtra Pomegranates Reach US Amidst Tariff War: Trump's Decision Benefits Farmers

• Maharashtra's pomegranates resume export to the US after a halt since 2017-18, despite ongoing tariff war.
• US President Trump withdrew tariffs on food items like fruits due to surging inflation, benefiting Indian exports.
• America imports Indian pomegranates, especially the 'Bhagwa' variety, for their quality, taste, and year-round availability.
• Indian pomegranates meet strict APEDA and USDA quality and food safety standards, including VHT and traceability.
• This export opportunity offers significant relief and a new market for Indian farmers, particularly in Maharashtra, where production had declined.

Why It Matters: US tariff withdrawal on food items reopens market for Maharashtra pomegranates, boosting Indian farmers.
