Very good, it will be helpful in future. Right now we cannot complain to anybody because nobody was there to listen. But now with this platform, I am sure we will be heard and our problems will be solved.

It was much overdue. So we are glad that this happened.
Sumit Saran Strat Sure Associates PVT LTD, Delhi -
I think we can leverage on each other’s strength. So happy seeing about 250 importers come together under one roof and most of us are competitors. I think its a great time in the Indian food industry where we are being more collaborative and less competitive.
Vijeta Gawdi Handful of Health PVT LTD, -
I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Nuts and Dry Fruits Council (India) team for your active participation and interaction in the roundtable meeting with the senior US Government officials from the State Department of Agriculture and the US Department of Agriculture's Cooperators. The interaction was very productive and the US members present got a good insight about the tree nuts market in India.
Mr. Clay Hamilton Agricultural Counselor at USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) -
Basically, we have been associated with different products in India as far as this association is concerned. And this is one uniform platform that we want to tell everybody where all nuts are equal.
