Peru and India have agreed to resume talks for a free trade agreement, with the South American country seeking to export its avocados, fresh grapes and blueberries to the giant Asian market. Vice Foreign Trade Minister of Peru Teresa Stella Mera Gomez said that technical teams of India and Peru would meet to start talks on modalities and scope of the proposed agreement. She said Peru’s main interests are in exporting agricultural products like avocados, fresh grapes, and blueberries, as well as natural resources. Most of the blueberries that are sold in India are sourced from Peru. The proposed agreement will focus on trade in goods and services.
