INDIA'S EXPORTS OF agricultural and processed food products, after slowing down in the first three-quarters of the current fiscal due to restriction on rice exports, have recovered, aided by a sharp spike in shipments of meat and daily products, and fruits & vegetables.

Exports of these items under the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) basket were just above the previous year level at $21.6 billion during the April-February period of the current fiscal.
