Geopolitical winds set to sweeten India's apple harvest

India's apple imports are facing disruption. Geopolitics are influencing prices this harvest season. Traders are avoiding Turkish apples due to political tensions. The Attari-Wagah border closure halts Afghan imports. This may increase prices for Kashmiri and Himachali apples. Iranian apple imports are risky. India's domestic production is less than consumption. Apple imports are rising year-on-year.

New Delhi: An apple a day - but at a price set by geopolitics. With Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan emerging as the top three apple import sources for India, shifting geopolitical dynamics are expected to play an outsized role in shaping prices this harvest season, beginning in August. #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;} .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px} #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;} #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;} #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important} #sr_widget.crypto.onDemand a.text{border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom:5px;display:block;width:100%} #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc .text p, #stock_pro.onDemand .sr_desc .text p{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;} At Delhi's Azadpur Fruit and Vegetable Market - ...
