Geopolitical winds set to sweeten India's apple harvest
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel New Delhi: An apple a day - but at a price set by geopolitics. With Turkey Iran and Afghanistan emerging as the top three apple import sources for India, shifting geopolitical dynamics are expected to play an outsized role in shaping prices this harvest season, beginning in Delhi's Azadpur Fruit and Vegetable Market - arguably Asia's largest - traders may continue to steer clear of imports from Turkey, which was India's largest apple supplier last fiscal year with shipments worth $97 million. The reluctance stems from prevailing negative sentiment toward Ankara over its active support for Islamabad during the recent India-Pakistan conflict, two traders have told the challenge is the continued closure of the Attari-Wagah border between India and Pakistan since May has effectively halted the entry of apples from Afghanistan - typically the most affordable among all imported varieties - into the Indian market. The disruption may contribute to a rise in prices of domestic apples from Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, whose harvest peaks between August and October, when traders will buy and store the apples for the months to come."Apples from Afghanistan, which are sold for Rs 40-65 per kg in the wholesale market, are cheaper than Kashmir or Himachal apples, which cost between Rs 60 and Rs 90 per kg," says Pawan Chhabra, fruit merchant and owner of Adarsh Fruits.'Production costs in Afghanistan are extremely low, and on top of that, the imports are duty-free under an agreement (South Asia Free Trade Area agreement),' he says, adding that he won't be surprised if the cost of domestic apples rises in the upcoming season.'While the conflict in Iran has paused for now, many importers remain cautious about sourcing Iranian apples due to the high risks involved,' says another fruit importer, requesting anonymity. 'In recent years, most Indian importers have operated more like commission agents for Iranian exporters, earning a cut of 4-6% on each sale.'While apple production in India — primarily concentrated in Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh — is estimated at around 2.4 million metric tonnes, domestic consumption exceeds this output. Just last financial year, India imported 34,000 tonnes of apples valued at $450 million, a 12% year-on-year rise in terms of value.

Market share of Ganganagar Sugar Mill plummets from 92% to 11% in five years
Jaipur: The Rajasthan State Ganganagar Sugar Mill (RSGSM), once a dominant force in the Rajasthan Made Liquor (RML) segment, has witnessed a dramatic decline in its market share—from 92.54% in 2019–20 to just 10.88% in 2024–25. In contrast, a private company selling RML expanded its share over the same period, rising from 7.46% to 70.76%. RML was introduced in 2019–20 as a low-cost alternative to Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), with the aim of promoting and financially strengthening RSGSM. At the time of its launch, RSGSM was the principal producer. However, despite steady growth in overall RML sales—crossing 60 lakh cases annually—RSGSM's contribution continued to shrink. According to documents accessed by TOI for 2024–25, out of a total of 60.24 lakh RML cartons sold, the private firm accounted for 42.63 lakh cartons (70.76%), RSGSM sold 6.56 lakh cartons (10.88%) and the remaining 12% was divided among a dozen other companies. Over the past six years, RSGSM's presence in the RML market steadily eroded. From a commanding 92.54% share in 2019–20, it dropped to 32.57% in 2020–21, then to 30.99% in 2021–22, 27.46% in 2022–23, 25.17% in 2023–24, and finally to 10.88% in 2024–25. This sustained decline marks a significant setback for the state-run enterprise in a segment it once dominated. A senior official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said, "The policy needs to be reviewed, as it triggered a steep decline in RSGSM's sales. Earlier, contractors were mandated to purchase 40% of their RML stock from RSGSM under a rider clause. This requirement was later reduced to 25% and eventually made optional. Under the revised rules, contractors opting out of purchasing RSGSM's products could choose private brands instead by paying Rs 10 per bulk litre or Rs 87 per case. " The data shows that while several private companies expanded their presence in the RML segment, one private firm recorded the most significant growth—its market share increasing more than tenfold since the launch of RML. Sources alleged that a nexus between private players and officials in the excise and finance departments enabled this company to corner 70% of the total orders.

Lessons for Trump from Licence Raj as US tariffs loom & Foxconn's blow to India's iPhone ambitions
'The example of the Licence Raj suggests that damage from trade restrictions goes far beyond just losing benefits such as cheaper imports and new export markets. Restrictions allow new distortions to proliferate: companies devote their efforts to tilting the playing field in their favour, officials discover new ways to benefit at the public's expense and smugglers profit from breaking the law. All this has an insidious effect on the economy, politics and society, which runs far beyond the sizeable damage resulting from lower economic growth,' it reads. Licence Raj refers to the economic policies of the Indian government from 1951 to 1990. New Delhi: Donald Trump and India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru have next to nothing in common, but it'd be worth the US President's while to take note of the Licence Raj, as countries like India rush to negotiate trade deals with Trump before the US' global tariffs kick in on 9 July, according to The Economist. Sankalp Phartiyal, Debby Wu and Mark Gurman report in Bloomberg that, in a blow to India's iPhone ambitions, Foxconn has asked 'hundreds' of Chinese engineers and technicians to return from its iPhone factories in India. 'Foxconn's move follows the steps Beijing has taken to make it harder for technology, skilled labour and specialised equipment to leave China for manufacturing upstarts such as India. The South Asian nation and countries including Vietnam are trying to attract global tech companies, taking advantage of US-China tensions that are prompting firms to diversify their locations,' the report says. The Dalai Lama, ahead of his 90th birthday, outlined his succession plan amid a quest for modernisation and an 'authoritarian Beijing', report Mujib Mashal and Hari Kumar in The New York Times. 'Traditionally, the search for a new Dalai Lama begins only after the current one dies. Tibetan Buddhist leaders say they follow ancient customs of parsing mystical visions, clues left by the previous Dalai Lama and astrology to help narrow their search. In the past, search committees would travel around Tibet testing candidates to see if they showed any traits that could be deemed especially holy,' says the report. In The Guardian, Nishad Sanzagiri reviews Sam Dalrymple's Shattered Lands, which expands the lens through which the British empire is viewed. 'Among the most poignant moments in the book is a brief account of a Bible salesman from the Naga hills who volunteers to fight in the second world war. The Nagas are ethnically Tibeto-Burman peoples native to the borderlands of north-east India and north-west Myanmar, with distinct cultural traditions and a strong sense of nationhood that long predates these modern states. When asked if he is Indian or Burmese, the man replies, 'I am a Naga first, a Naga second, and a Naga last',' the review notes. BBC's Matthew Henry deconstructs newbie cricket captain Shubman Gill's performance in India's latest test series in England. 'The travelling India press pack is large and unrelenting and Gill struggled to sate them. The message was muddled. His batting in Birmingham 24 hours later was not,' he writes.
