India bans apple imports except from Bhutan

New Delhi: The Centre has imposed a ban on apple imports that have a Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) import price equal to or lower than Rs 50 per kilogram as it altered the import policy from "free" to "prohibited".

However, this ban will not be applicable to apple imports from Bhutan.

In a notification, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said, “Import of apples…is Prohibited' wherever the CIF Import Price is less than equal ot Rs 50/- per kilogram. Minimum Import Price conditions shall not be applicable for imports from Bhutan.”

There have been repeated demands by apple farmers in Kashmir for a ban on the import of Iranian apples, as it was causing a decline in the prices of domestically produced apples.

India has been importing apples worth hundreds of millions of dollars with Turkey, Italy, Iran and Chile being the top sources.
