<h1>Trade Promotion spurs export opportunities by linking Indian food exporters with major importers to reduce bilateral trade deficit.</h1> A buyer-seller meet in Jeddah brings Indian exporters of rice, tea, spices and dry fruits together with major importers to develop market linkages, marketing tie ups and joint ventures aimed at expanding Indian food and agricultural exports. The initiative relies on India's production strengths-particularly in basmati rice, tea and spices-and is framed as a measure to increase export visibility and volumes to Saudi Arabia and help reduce the bilateral trade deficit driven by petroleum imports.
