<h1>India Sends First Trial Shipment of Bananas to Netherlands, Aiming to Boost Exports and Farmer Incomes.</h1> The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has facilitated the first trial shipment of bananas from India to the Netherlands via sea, marking a significant step in expanding India's fresh fruit exports. This initiative, involving InI Farms and partners like Del Monte and Maersk, aims to tap into the European market. India, the world's largest banana producer, currently holds just a one percent share in global exports. The trial is expected to boost farmer incomes and create jobs, with potential exports exceeding USD 1 billion in five years. APEDA continues efforts to enhance agricultural exports through various initiatives.
