NEW DELHI : India’s export basket to China is steadily tilting toward food and farm products, even as imports from Beijing remain dominated by industrial and consumer goods. Crabs, prawns, capsicum and jojoba oil are among the fastest-growing non-petroleum shipments.

Animal, vegetable and food product exports together made up 22.1 percent of India’s shipments to China in FY25, up sharply from 8.9 percent in FY19. Vegetable exports have tripled in share, rising from 4.3 percent to 13.1 percent, while animal products stood at 7.7 percent.
