Due to challenging weather conditions in India's main apple-producing regions, domestic apple production has decreased, leading to an increased demand for imported apples. Turkey is the main supplier of apples to India, followed by Iran and Italy, with American apples facing retaliatory tariffs since 2019. The US hopes to see a rebound in apple exports to the Indian market now that India has lifted the supplemental import tariff, although regulatory challenges from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India still remain.
