The Centre has revoked the temporary suspension on import of six farm products including coffee, black pepper and cinnamon from Vietnam.
The Agriculture Ministry issued a notification on Thursday revoking the ban, after both countries reportedly resolved the phytosanitary issues.
India, in a retaliatory move, had banned the entry of six commodities — coffee beans, black pepper, cinnamon, bamboo, cassia and dragon fruit — from Vietnam on concerns over phytosanitary issues early March, after the South-East Asian nation had announced its intent to suspend imports of Indian peanuts, cassia seeds, cocoa beans, harricot beans and tamarind over quarantine pest issues.
The removal of curbs on farm products by the two countries has provided relief to trading communities in both these nations.
India and Vietnam are major trading partners in commodities such as pepper, coffee and groundnut.
India relies on Vietnam to a major extent for black pepper and raw coffees, which are re-exported as value added products. Vietnam is a major buyer of Indian groundnuts.
