omegranate being a major fruit crop is in huge demand in the

international market, especially in the European Union. Pomegranate

exports are expected to rise during the current season. To help

exporters monitor the residue scenario in a more organized manner

and to boost exports of quality fruit, APEDA has launched a Residue

Monitoring Plan (RMP) for pomegranates. This has already been hosted

on the APEDA website for the general information of exporters.

In an effort to augment the export of this fruit to the European Union,
