I am upset and with faint heart i continue writing here about exports of Indian food items to foreigners.......
I'll start from Rice and with Basmati Rice just search in net about India's exports of Basmati Rice and u will be shocked(you may) but i am shocked to know that India is exporting this wonderful Rice worth 10000 Crores annually to Rich Indians settled abroad not only BR but other premium rice and other grains, Meats and Fresh fruits and vegetable and other processed foods....
There are dedicated department setup by Indian govt which exports certain commodities like seafood spices grains meats...(eg:APEDA,MPEDA,etc)
As i say BR is exported to feed Rich NRIs who have settled around the world but rarely others eat it...
There are numerous Indian's who have opened Indian restaurants around the world and many cooking websites in net and these websites are run by the wives of Techies(Software Engineers) who have settled around the world especially United States....they are all fond of eating Indian food and would like share their know how to others as well and they all import such items from India while ordinary Indians feel the pinch...
1 kg of premium rice in India is sold between 25 to 30 Rupees while BR is between 60 to 80....there are numerous Meat processing and seafood companies which exports tens and thousands of tonnes of meat(Sheep and Goat) and seafood while we still feel the pinch of paying a KG of mutton for 320 rupees and 1 kg of prawns around 300!!!!!!
