Official data compiled by the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCIS) and the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) highlights a major surge in overseas demand for premium Southern Indian cultivars, particularly native varieties from Andhra Pradesh.
