FDACS releases report on India
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has released a market research report meant to assist Florida agricultural producers interested in exporting product to India.
FDACS Commissioner Charles H. Bronson said the report is part of his department's efforts to improve international distribution of Florida agricultural products. India is considered a particularly lucrative market.
“This democracy of 1.1 billion consumers has an underdeveloped retail sector and an appetite for international goods,” Bronson said. “The Indian market presents opportunities for exporters worldwide, and we want to help Florida’s agricultural producers develop an understanding of the economy, culture, demographics, and consumer preferences of this dynamic country.'
The 60-page report, India: Road to Success, is the result of four years of marketing research missions conducted by FDACS in cooperation with the Southern United States Trade Association. Researchers focused on four major areas of India: Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, and the tri-city region that includes Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai.
