Binaya Srikanta Pradhan, the Indian High Commissioner said yesterday that the country was ready to import as much avocado as is available in Tanzania. He made the remarks at a stakeholders' meeting for trade in crops organised by the Mbeya Region branch of the Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA).
Indian importers were increasing the import volume for Tanzania's avocado produce, making India's market opening up an opportunity for Tanzania farmers and agribusiness operations, he said.
The envoy urged that farmers produce plenty high quality avocado as there is a reliable market in India, in the wake of the gradual setting up of an enabling import environment.
