India replaces Brazil as a top food supplier to Arab League countries

India has become the top food exporter to the 22-nation League of Arab States for the first time in 15 years, replacing Brazil. A Reuters report from Sao Paulo said India accounted for 8.25% of the total agribusiness products imported by the 22 Arab League members last year, higher than Brazil’s 8.15%, ending a 15-year advantage for Brazil.

Now, India is capable of shipping fruits, vegetables, sugar, grains, and meat to the Arab nations in about a week’s time.
