Forging a Path of Growth for Indian Exporters

India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world, first being China. It takes lead in producing bananas, mangoes, and guavas, with significant contributions from grapes, oranges, and pomegranates as well. Moreover, India has emerged as a major exporter of fruits, catering to countries like the UK, UAE, Malaysia, and others. Hence, the exporters in India are in high demand and have a good scope for further expansion. However, finding trustworthy importers who make timely payments is quite challenging for an exporter. Late payments, defaults, and inadequate working capital can disrupt your cash flow and hinder the smooth operation of your business.

The tragedy of the Irish potato famine provides a cautionary tale for the banana industry. Over-dependence on monocrop production systems is again putting a food crop – one that is a key staple for food security in millions of households around the world – at risk.  Last week, the Sunday Times took a look at the story of the banana in light of fresh produce shortages on Britain’s supermarket shelves and asked, could the banana be next? In the case of the Cavendish banana – the only banana variety to be exported globally and enjoyed at scale in Northern Countries – there is a double-bind: not only are the production systems typically wiping out local biodiversity through implementing large-scale mono-crop systems and with significant agrochemical inputs, but the banana itself is grown from cuttings, rather than seed, meaning there is no genetic diversity within the variety either. Banana Link’s International Coordinator, Alistair Smith, contributed to the piece: “It is the Irish potato famine phenomenon all over again. You could potentially get global wipeout, as there’s no diversity to stop the disease taking hold” he commented. To ensure the Cavendish banana doesn’t meet the same grisly fate as it’s predecessor, the ‘Big Mike’ (Gros Michel) variety which was enjoyed until the 1950s, before it was wiped-out completely by disease, investment is needed. “Supermarkets need to start investing with their suppliers to look at alternative varieties and alternative ways of producing on a commercial scale before it’s too late.” Smith stated.

Honestly I'm not sure animal agriculture is even that environmentally destructive inherently. I hear that argument sometimes, that we shouldn't eat meat for that reason. Animals eat different plants than we do, and they're often non-competitive species that thrive in different environments, where using it to feed livestock converts inedible flora into something we can digest.

Not that it isn't environmentally destructive right now, but I think that's more because of our use of monocultured crops and factory farms, and our abandonment of local food sources in favor of a cultural hegemony. It's not enough to have livestock feed on grasslands that naturally accomodate them or fields left fallow for soil regeneration, feeding the local population with maybe some surplus to export at cost. Instead, everyone everywhere has to have fresh beef available at all times, so we need to convert all the grassland and clear-cut some forests to grow not just enough grain to feed the people at a profit, but enough grain and roughage to also supply the feed troughs of factory farms in every part of the continent, every biome, so that you can get a fresh steak on demand without ever needing to wait a few weeks.

Now, to be fair, we do similarly ridiculous and wasteful things with regular agriculture. I can go buy bananas in Canada in November. Hardly natural. And while I'm paying more than an American because of the import cost, I'm still paying far less than what it actually cost to produce, thanks to the American military and neo-colonialist doctrine.

The worst part is, buying "local" doesn't even help that much, because what's produced locally isn't what's needed locally. There isn't a large investment in cultivating hardy fruits for preserves to supply vitamins through winter, we just mass-produce our key crops year-round for export and use the money to import fruits. All that's doing is wasting burning oil to ship things back and forth and make a profit off the margins, and it's totally unnecessary because we have the ability to make what we need locally, there's just no infrastructure for it because it's not as profitable. The fuckin... undead legacy of European mercantilism, I guess.

Many newspapers in Finland reported on Prime Minister Sanna Marin's (SDP) appearance on the long-running current affairs show '60 Minutes', which aired in the US on Sunday.

Most outlets, including Helsingin Sanomat (siirryt toiseen palveluun) (HS), mention Marin's stark comments about Russia as a threat to the whole of Europe.

"They are attacking another country. They are killing civilians. They are demolishing infrastructure. Russia poses a threat to all of us, and that's why we have to make sure that Ukraine will win," Marin said on the CBS show.

Apart from the war in Ukraine, Marin's interview also touched on topics such as Finland's application to join Nato as well as the country's target of becoming carbon neutral by 2035, HS noted.

Tabloid Iltalehti (siirryt toiseen palveluun) added that the show's interviewer, Sharyn Alfonsi, also brought up last summer's party scandal, which saw a series of private videos that featured the Prime Minister dancing with friends leak to the press.

"Do you think politicians are allowed to be human right now," Alfonsi asked in relation to the topic, to which Marin responded by saying:

"I think we need more politicians that are human, that are normal humans, also showing emotions, and also being themselves. Because they are representing ordinary people. Why cannot they be ordinary?"

Ohisalo: urgent action on forestry needed

With Finland's carbon sink collapsing and the goal of carbon neutrality by 2035 slipping further away, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Maria Ohisalo (Green) said it is urgent that Finland ceases unsustainable logging, according to Jyväskylä-based Keskisuomalainen (siirryt toiseen palveluun).

"The key question for the next governments is how to save this carbon sink," Ohisalo said in an interview organised by news agency STT, adding that the main issue is that Finland is felling trees in too large quantities and while they are too young.

KSML adds that forestry has become a key bone of contention among politicians recently, with economic growth and climate ambitions often clashing.

National Coalition Party (NCP) leader Petteri Orpo is among those to have disputed claims of Finnish logging as unsustainable, the paper explained. The Green Party leader says that Orpo's party's rhetorics lack a factual base and have varied depending on the audience.

"The NCP also recognises that Finland must become carbon neutral, but is not prepared to take the necessary action," she said.

Ohisalo rounds off by saying that while the forestry industry is an important export sector for Finland, it needs to be on a more sustainable footing.

"At the same time as the forest industry is making billions in profits, in some cases the best results in its history, our forest ecosystem is becoming weaker and the loss of biodiversity is worsening".

Transport sector dispute, strikes continue

Newspapers also reported about the likely continuation of the ongoing strikes affecting the Finnish transport sector.

Tampere-based Aamulehti (siirryt toiseen palveluun) wrote that last weekend's negotiations did not prove fruitful as the Finnish Transport Workers' Union (AKT) rejected the National Concilliator's Office's proposal citing that its proposed wage increases were insufficient.

The industrial action has affected some 9,000 workers and will continue to significantly impact Finland's foreign trade and transport services.

Most strikers were set to return to work by 21-22 February, however a new round of strikes could start from 1 March if parties fail to reach an agreement, the newspaper noted.

The extension could soon be evident on grocery shelves, with imported fresh produce like bananas and oranges at most risk by the industrial action, Iltalehti (siirryt toiseen palveluun)added.

The strike is also impacting waste collection at recycling points. Residents in some Finnish cities, including Helsinki, have been advised to keep rubbish at home during the strikes.

Government Support for Exporters

The Indian government offers numerous incentives and schemes to support exporters. Organizations like APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority) provide assistance with certifications, marketing, and trade facilitation. Exporters can also benefit from subsidies on export insurance and transportation costs, which helps them stay competitive in global markets.

Being a successful agricultural products exporter from India requires careful planning, adherence to international standards, and strategic market entry. By focusing on quality, understanding market demand, and leveraging government support, Indian exporters can tap into the immense potential of the global agricultural market. With continuous effort and the right approach, India’s agricultural exports are poised for sustained growth in the coming years.

The Growing Fruit Import Market in Indonesia: Trends and Key Players

Indonesia, renowned for its tropical bounty, is home to a variety of exotic fruits such as mangosteen (Manggis), snake fruit (Salak), dukuh, and sirsak. Despite its rich agricultural landscape, the country has emerged as one of the world's leading fruit importers, driven by a growing population and increasing consumer demand for high-quality, fresh produce. This article explores the dynamics of Indonesia's fruit import market, the key players involved, and the logistics of shipping through its major ports.

Why Does Indonesia Import Fruits?

Indonesia's fruit import landscape is shaped by several factors:

High Domestic Demand: Local farmers often struggle to meet the diverse preferences of consumers, leading to an influx of imported fruits.

Limited Cold Storage: The underdeveloped cold storage facilities hinder the preservation and transportation of perishable goods.

Logistics Challenges: Inadequate infrastructure raises logistics costs, complicating the supply chain for fresh produce.

Handling Practices: Outdated handling methods for fresh fruits contribute to the need for imports.

Despite being a top global producer of tropical fruits such as avocados, pineapples, and bananas, Indonesia imports significant quantities to satisfy both local and international demands.

Fruit Imports Overview

In the 2023-2024 period, Indonesia imported 361 shipments of fruit, primarily from countries like Australia, Thailand, and China. The total value of fruit imports was estimated at $1.45 billion, with apples, grapes, pears, cherries, oranges, and mandarins leading the list of imported fruits.

Key Import Statistics:

Top Tropical Fruits: Mangosteen, snake fruit, dukuh, rose apple, sirsak, and passionfruit.

Leading Import Countries: Australia, Thailand, China, and the United States.

Popular Imported Fruits and Varieties:

In the Indonesian fruit import market, several key fruits and their popular varieties stand out.

Apples

Apples, for instance, are imported mainly in varieties such as Fuji, Granny Smith, and Honeycrisp, with primary sourcing from China, the United States, and South Africa.

Grapes

Grapes come in red, green, and black varieties, primarily imported from Chile, Peru, and South Africa.

Pears

Pears, including Bartlett, Anjou, and Bosc varieties, are sourced mainly from China, the United States, and South Africa.

Cherries

Cherries, both sweet and sour, are predominantly imported from the United States, Chile, and Turkey.

Oranges

For oranges, popular varieties include Navel, Valencia, and blood oranges, mainly coming from the United States, Spain, and Brazil.

Mandarins

Lastly, mandarins, particularly tangerines and satsumas, are primarily imported from China, Spain, and Morocco.

This diverse range of fruits reflects the growing consumer demand for high-quality produce in Indonesia's market.

Leading Fruit Importers in Indonesia

Several companies dominate the fruit import market in Indonesia, sourcing high-quality produce from around the globe. Here are some key players:

PT Lock Lock Indonesia: The top importer, handling 40% of total shipments.

Pacific Supplies Company, Inc.: Shares a 40% market presence with two shipments.

PT Laris Manis Utama: Specializes in importing premium fruits such as grapes and apples.

PT Sewu Segar Nusantara: The sole distributor of Sunpride fruits, focusing on bananas and pineapples.

PT Matahari Sakti: Deals in both fresh and dried fruits from various international markets.

The Role of Indonesia's Shipping Ports

Efficient logistics are crucial for the success of fruit imports, and Indonesia's shipping infrastructure plays a vital role. The country's major sea and container ports facilitate the smooth movement of goods.

Key Shipping Ports in Indonesia:

Port of Tanjung Priok: The largest and busiest port, serving as the main gateway for imports and exports.

Port of Surabaya: A significant hub for shipping, especially for goods destined for eastern Indonesia.

Port of Makassar: Plays a crucial role in trade for the eastern regions of the archipelago.

These ports are equipped to handle a variety of shipping containers, ensuring that fresh produce arrives promptly and in optimal condition.

Final Thoughts

The increasing demand for diverse and high-quality fruits is driving the growth of Indonesia's fruit import market. Importers like PT Lock Lock Indonesia and PT Laris Manis Utama play pivotal roles in sourcing global fruits to meet local needs. As logistics and cold storage capabilities improve, Indonesia is set to continue enhancing its fruit import landscape.

How India's Agricultural Exports Contribute to the Global Market

India, with its vast and diverse agricultural sector, has emerged as a global leader in exporting a wide range of agricultural commodities. As one of the largest producers of crops like rice, wheat, and spices, India plays a crucial role in feeding the world and contributing to global food security. The country’s agricultural exports not only boost its economy but also make it a key player in the international market.

India as a Leading Agricultural Commodities Exporter

India has firmly established itself as a top agricultural commodities exporter from India, catering to the needs of various countries around the world. India’s global export portfolio includes essential products such as rice, spices, tea, coffee, fruits, vegetables, and even processed foods. The country ranks as the largest exporter of basmati and non-basmati rice, while its rich variety of spices like turmeric, cumin, and black pepper are in high demand across the globe.

Key Commodities Driving India's Agricultural Exports

Among the most significant agricultural commodities exported by India are:

Rice: India is the world’s largest exporter of rice, particularly basmati rice, which is prized in Middle Eastern and European markets.

Spices: India dominates the global spice trade, exporting a diverse array of spices, including chili, pepper, cardamom, and coriander.

Tea and Coffee: Indian tea, especially from regions like Assam and Darjeeling, as well as its robust coffee exports, enjoy a strong presence in global markets.

Fruits and Vegetables: India’s fresh produce, including mangoes, bananas, and onions, is widely exported to countries across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

Contribution to Global Food Security

India’s role as a major agricultural commodities exporter from India extends beyond trade—it plays a critical part in ensuring global food security. Countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia rely heavily on Indian exports for staples like rice and wheat. India’s agricultural exports are essential in sustaining food supplies for millions of people worldwide, especially in regions where local production is insufficient to meet demand.

Government Initiatives to Boost Agricultural Exports

The Indian government has implemented various policies to enhance agricultural exports. Through bodies like the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), the country has increased the scale and quality of its exports. Additionally, schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana focus on improving food processing and export infrastructure, ensuring that India remains competitive in the global market.

Organic and Sustainable Exports

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in global trade, and India is making strides in organic farming. The demand for organic produce, such as tea, spices, and fruits, is growing, and India has started to position itself as a reliable source of sustainable agricultural products. The rise of organic exports has further boosted India's reputation as a responsible agricultural commodities exporter from India.

Challenges and Opportunities

While India’s agricultural exports have made significant strides, there are challenges to overcome. Quality standards, logistics, and fluctuating global demand can impact export volumes. However, opportunities in emerging markets and the growing demand for organic products offer promising prospects for the future. Companies like Euro Sun Global have capitalized on these opportunities, helping Indian agricultural products reach new markets and contributing to the country’s export success.

Conclusion

India’s agricultural exports are a cornerstone of the global food market. As a leading agricultural commodities exporter from India, the country has positioned itself as an indispensable supplier to the world. With continued support from government policies and a focus on innovation and sustainability, India is set to further strengthen its role in the global agricultural landscape.

How Ripening Chambers and Cold Rooms Ensure Banana Freshness

The integration of ripening chambers and cold rooms is crucial in maintaining the quality and taste of bananas from harvest to consumption. This seamless transition between ripening and storage not only boosts supply chain efficiency but also significantly reduces food waste and fulfils consumer demands for high-quality produce.

Banana Ripening and Storage 

Ripening chambers play a vital role in accelerating the ripening process by controlling temperature, humidity and ethylene levels while preserving the fruit’s quality. Cold rooms, on the other hand, are essential for extending the shelf life of bananas and preventing premature spoilage.

Bananas are ideal for long-term storage due to their ethylene gas emissions, which speed up maturation. When stored while still green, bananas can last for 6-7 weeks. However, they cannot be directly marketed from storage. To achieve the desired yellow colour, bananas are treated with ethylene in controlled environments, which converts chlorophyll to a yellow pigment in 6-8 days, depending on the temperature.

In a ripening room, bananas typically transition from green to yellow in 4-6 days, gaining sweetness and flavour.

Challenges in Banana Storage 

Bananas are susceptible to various diseases and injuries during storage, including Anthracnose, Blackrot, Chilling Injury, Fruit Spot and Rhizopus Rot. Both green and ripe bananas can bruise easily, so careful handling at each stage is crucial to minimise damage and maintain market value.

Temperature and Humidity 

Temperature and humidity are pivotal in the ripening process. The ideal temperature for ripening bananas is between 18-25°C, with humidity levels maintained at 85-95%. These conditions facilitate the enzyme activity that converts starches into sugars, enhancing the bananas' sweetness and flavour.

Proper ventilation and air circulation are essential in ripening chambers and cold rooms to ensure even ripening and storage conditions. Adequate airflow helps distribute ethylene evenly in ripening chambers and maintains consistent temperature and humidity levels in cold rooms, thereby optimising fruit quality and freshness.

Impact of Cold Rooms on Nutritional Value 

Cold rooms use refrigeration systems to maintain a stable temperature, preventing spoilage due to temperature fluctuations. When well-maintained, cold rooms do not significantly impact the nutritional value of bananas. Instead, they help retain essential nutrients by preserving fruit freshness.

Benefits of Ripening Chamber 

Ripening chambers can be customised to meet the specific ripening requirements and storage preferences of different banana varieties, optimising the quality and process for each type. Modern ripening and cold storage facilities often feature energy-efficient designs that reduce overall energy consumption and environmental impact. 

Key Benefits include:

Enhanced control over the ripening process, providing flexibility in timing.

Uniform ripening, resulting in a more consistent product.

Faster ripening, saving time and reducing costs.
