With Virginia looking to boost its trade with India, a firm from the US state has signed a deal for the export of apples to the country. “I am pleased to announce this new sale of Crown's 2015 apple crop into the highly competitive Indian produce market,” Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe said in a statement.
“After opening the Indian apple market for Virginia producers last year, it was important that we continue that momentum and push hard to expand those sales,” he said adding that export deals like this one will play a vital role in generating additional revenue and jobs for the State. A MoU on the export of apples was signed between officials of Crown Orchard Company and IG International in Mumbai in the presence of McAuliffe.
