From the Business Standard:
Faced with economic sanctions by the Western world and a retaliatory ban on import of agricultural commodities from there, Russia has shown interest in buying a large quantity of fruits and vegetables from India.
In a letter to the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (Apeda), one of Russia’s largest chains, Retain Chain Monetka, has sought import of potato, cabbage, carrot, marrow, garlic, tomato, onion, capsicum, radish and mushroom, among others.
Consequently, Russia is looking to import agricultural commodities from elsewhere. It has also sought import of apples, oranges, banana, pomegranate, grapefruit and pears from India.
