What will be the effect on the fruit exported from India due to the Russia-Ukraine crisis?
New restrictions, such as Russia’s exclusion from the SWIFT system, are likely to have an impact on India’s grape and mango exports. The restrictions will severely limit the ability of the Indian exporters to explore market opportunities in the United States. Currently, grapes are being exported in full swing from India and the sanctions on Russia will hamper this. The sanctions will not only affect the payments of the Indian exporters but will also hamper the movement of containers.
