Consumption of this fruit has been increasing in the last 8 years, during which time India has started to seriously export it. The countries that consume this product the most are: the US (35.5% of total consumption), Malaysia (15.2%) and Saudi Arabia (15%). In addition, this product's price isn't high, said Ms. Chavan, and it only increased by 3% last year.





India is not the only exporter of guava. Thailand, Brazil, Bangladesh, Mexico, and Peru are its main competitors. It is a product that has had a great reception and is available for most of the year, which allows it to have a very stable position in the international markets.

Guava is India's fourth most important fruit after mangoes, bananas, and citrus. However, despite its large production, it is a product that is mainly consumed in India. Currently, "India only exports 0.05% of its guava production to the USA, some countries of the European Union, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Jordan," said Ms. Usha Chavan, the manager of Umed Exports.Telf.: +353 894019337
