Pune: The Indian agricultural market continues to attract global traders, with international businesses showing interest in expanding trade opportunities. In a recent development, Andreas Schindler, a lemon producer from Hamburg, Germany, visited Market Yard in Pune to understand the local lemon trade and explore potential business collaborations.
During his visit, Schindler met with local trader Rohan Jadhav and closely observed the daily market operations, supply chain, price fluctuations, sales mechanisms, and export systems. He examined how lemons arrive at the market, the pricing strategies involved, and the procedures followed for selling and distributing them.
Since Market Yard is a major trading hub with large-scale transactions, Schindler was particularly interested in understanding the process of purchasing goods from the market and exporting them internationally. He assessed the feasibility of setting up trade exchanges and discussed logistics involved in the export and import of lemons.
Apart from analyzing the local trade system, Schindler explored the possibility of introducing German lemons and other fruits to the Indian market. He inquired about the potential pricing and quantity required if German lemons were to be imported to Pune.
According to trader Rohan Jadhav, Schindler was particularly interested in understanding the market demand and pricing structure for foreign lemons. The discussions revolved around the competitive rates German lemons could fetch in Pune and the required quantity for successful trade.
