People in India would soon be able to enjoy the juicy and sumptuous taste of Japanese apples – also called Ringo as the Indian government has finally approved the import of apples from Japan. Till now, the import of Japanese apples into India is completely prohibited to check the entry of pests though Japan is allowed to export peaches and cherries to India.
According to the Japanese Embassy and Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) officials, the Indian authorities approved import the Japanese apples during Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s visit to India in March this year. This approval is, however, subject to the pre-inspection approvals and clearance of quarantine procedures.
“In October, an Indian team of inspectors would visit apple farms and exports facilities in Japan to check the situation of the farms, and see how do they grow apples safely and naturally. We expect the first commercial shipment of apples to reach India after this sometime by the end of this year,” SUZUKI Takashi, Chief Director-General, JETRO, India and WATANABE Ikko, First Secretary, Embassy of Japan told Asian Community News (ACN) Network.
