Producers demand 100% taxation of imported apples
Printable version 
In India, in the state of Himachal Pradesh the apple production sector is a major economic sector, estimated at around 60 billion INR (734.4 million USD).
 
SKM (Samyukt Kisan Morcha), an organization of agricultural unions, has appealed to the state government to exclude apples from the free trade agreement and impose a 100% tax on imported apples.
 
Especially for low-priced apples imported from Iran for which customs duties should be increased greatly and phytosanitary inspections should be carried out strictly.
 
For local farmers, production costs have jumped but apple prices paid to growers have remained the same and even fallen in some cases.
 
Strong measures must be taken quickly otherwise apple production will no longer become profitable for farmers who will abandon this major crop for the state of Himachal Pradesh.
