New Delhi, Sep 23 (TIWN) India's agricultural and processed food products exports rose 21.8 per cent in April-August FY22, on a year-on-year basis.
This rise in exports has been achieved notwithstanding Covid-19 restrictions, the Ministry of Commerce & Industry said in a statement.
"The significant spike in agri-exports is seen as a testimony of the government's commitment to increase farmers' income through giving thrust on boosting exports of agricultural and processed food products of the country."
The huge jump in exports of agricultural and processed food products during the first five months of current fiscal is in continuation of growth in exports witnessed in the financial year 2020-21.
