The India–EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) marks a new chapter in India's trade engagement with Europe by enhancing market access for agricultural products.

The agreement is expected to create new opportunities for Indian exporters across a wide range of value-added and agricultural products while strengthening economic cooperation with the EFTA countries. TEPA reinforces India's commitment to expanding global trade partnerships and supporting export-led growth.

The export of Sinduri pomegranates from Himachal Pradesh and the trial export of kiwi from Arunachal Pradesh to Dubai highlight efforts to connect regional horticultural produce with overseas markets. The 50% higher price realisation for participating pomegranate farmers is particularly encouraging, while the kiwi trial will help assess consumer response and market potential.
