<h1>Apples: India grants quota-based duty concession to US with MIP Rs80/kg and 25% duty to protect domestic growers.</h1> India granted a quota-based duty concession on US apples under an interim trade pact while protecting domestic growers by imposing a minimum import price of Rs 80 per kg and a 25% import duty, effectively barring US apples priced below Rs 100 per kg; current rules impose a 50% duty and MIP Rs 50 per kg, effectively barring apples below Rs 75 per kg.
