More than 50 agriculture exporters from Afghanistan will showcase products like fruits, nuts and spices, at a trade show Mumbai later this week.
The 'Passage to Prosperity: India-Afghanistan International Trade and Investment Show' is being organised by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Mumbai from September 12-15, 2018, the Afghan Chamber of Commerce and Industry said in a statement.
The trade show is the second annual event designed to boost Afghan exports in India. Last year, a similar number of Afghan agri exhibitors had participated in the show.
"The show is now being organised in Mumbai to create greater awareness among India's southern and central states including Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Goa, Kerala, Orissa, and Telangana. Afghan producers and exporters of fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, spices and juices will be showcasing their all high value natural products to develop partnerships with Indian importers, wholesalers, and supermarket chains," it said.
Afghan apples, grapes, apricots, pomegranates, and raisins have consumer interest in India.
