India: Exporter Guide

As it assumes the G20 presidency in 2023, India is set to become the second-fastest growing economy in the bloc despite decelerated global economic activity in 2022.

The rapid development of India’s modern retail sector, including e-retail, presents newfound opportunities for a diverse range of U.S. food product exports.
