India’s first consignment of pomegranates reaches Melbourne


The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) facilitated the first consignment of Indian pomegranates from Mumbai to Melbourne, Australia on August 31, 2024, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said on Thursday. The consignment was cleared in Melbourne and showcased at the APEDA India Pavilion at Fine Food Australia 2024, further highlighting the global appeal of Indian pomegranates.

The consignment was sent by M/s K B Exports, a leading exporter of fruits and vegetables from Mumbai and a registered exporter with APEDA. The pomegranates in this consignment were sourced directly from the farms of M/s K B Exports, ensuring that the benefits of this export reach the Indian farmers at the grassroots level. These pomegranates were carefully packed at their Australia-approved packhouse in Ahmednagar, guaranteeing that they meet the stringent quality standards required for international markets.

APEDA is a statutory body under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India and is dedicated to promoting Indian agricultural and processed food exports. Efforts undertaken by APEDA include organizing B2B exhibitions in various countries, exploring new potential markets and working closely with Indian embassies to promote natural, organic and Geographical Indication (GI) tagged agricultural products.
