India to resume curry leaf exports to the EU
In 2013, the EU had banned importing curry leaves from India, citing concerns related to high pesticide residue. It had later stipulated that exports must be accompanied by results of sampling and analysis and by a health certificate verified by authorised representatives.
India exports almost 120,000 kg of curry leaves to the EU in total and although these leaves are a not a heavy item in India's export basket and are part of the 'assorted vegetables' group, the government's fears stemmed from the fact that the EU could ban other vegetables being exported in the common containers.
