Maharashtra Raisin Growers Seek Action Against Chinese Imports

Maharashtra Raisin Growers Seek Action Against Chinese Imports

Farmers in Maharashtra, India, are upset because the price of raisins has dropped a lot.

They say this is happening because some traders are bringing in raisins from China and selling them as if they were from Afghanistan.

This is making it hard for local farmers to sell their raisins at good prices.

The farmers are asking the government to stop this because it's hurting their business and they're worried about the quality of the imported raisins.

They have a lot of raisins stored from last year, and the new imports are making the prices go down.
