Pickles, honey & curry pastes gain weight in India's export basket

Indian kitchen staples are increasingly exported due to global demand for authentic flavors. Exports of pickles, honey, and pastes grew significantly, reaching over $576 million. Honey led this growth, with the United States remaining the largest market. Mixed condiments and jams also showed substantial increases in export value. Addressing post-harvest losses can further boost exports of fruit-based products.
