NEW DELHI — India’s exports of agricultural and processed food products rose by 16 percent in the first eight months (April-November) of the current financial year 2022-23, in comparison to the corresponding period of the last financial year, said the federal Ministry of Commerce and Industry on Friday.

The overall exports of agricultural and processed food products rose to 17.43 billion U.S. dollars during April-November from 15.07 billion dollars in the same period a year earlier, data released by the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics showed.

Thus the country has achieved nearly 74 percent of its total exports target for the fiscal year 2022-23 in the first eight months.

“For the year 2022-23, an export target of 23.56 billion U.S. dollars was fixed for the agricultural and processed food products basket,” said the data. (Xinhua)
