#WATCH | Speaking to ANI on India-US Trade Deal, on concerns of hill states about apples or tree nuts, Union Commerce Minister, Piyush Goyal says, "...We are not suppressing apples. The demand of apples is more than 25-26 lakh tons. We produce about 20-21 lakh tons. As we speak, we import 5.5 lakh tons of apples every year. A large quantity of that comes from the USA. We have not opened up apples. We have given them a quota on apples, which we will procure from there. That is less than the current imports of apples from the USA. Also, it's important to note, we have been very cautious in our opening up. Today, apple has a minimum import price of Rs 50 and there's a 50% duty which adds Rs 25. So Rs 75 is the base below which goods don't come into the country. So in some sense, that's the protection that the apple farmers also get that nobody can dump material and make it so cheap that apples don't get a fair value. But even in the quota we have given to the US, the minimum import price is Rs 80, there's a duty on that of Rs 20. So the landed price of that will be Rs 100. It's not in competition with our farmers..."
