Centre raises apples' Minimum Import Price from ₹50 to ₹80/kg
The Centre has increased the Minimum Import Price (MIP) from ₹50 to ₹80, providing a big relief to the apple growers of Himachal, Kashmir and Uttarakhand. Apart from enhancing import duty on apple, the apple growers have been demanding a hike in MIP to ensure imported apple does not reach the Indian markets at extremely cheap rates.
