A market of rapidly growing potential

With 1.4 billion consumers and increasing demand for premium, healthy, and sustainably sourced food products, India represents a significant opportunity for Australian macadamias.
The Australian macadamia industry welcomes a major development in trade access, with the Government of India officially gazetting an amendment to its Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) for Australian macadamia nuts. This change significantly improves technical market access, reducing barriers for Australian-grown macadamias to enter one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
The revision relates to the required treatment of macadamia kernel to prevent the unintended spread of plant pests. Previously, India’s regulations stipulated fumigation with methyl bromide (32 g/m³ for 24 hours at 21°C or above) or an extended (24 hour) period of heat treatment as the only accepted treatments. Under the new specifications, heat treatment at 60°C for one minute is now recognised as an effective treatment method, aligning with the approach preferred by most Australian macadamia processors.
The improved technical access follows the broader Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA), which took effect in December 2022. As part of the ECTA, the 30% tariff on Australian macadamias exported to India is being progressively reduced to zero by 2028, enhancing Australia’s competitive position in the Indian market.
