Ajay Kumar on 26 Aug 16PUNE: A change in regulations on pesticide residue levels in grapes proposed by the European Union (EU) is likely to pose problems for the export of Indian grape to these countries in the coming season. Top officials of the Maximum Residue Level (MRL) Committee met in Pune, along with senior officials of the Union Commerce Department, APEDA at the National Research Centre for Grapes, has decided to approach the EU to file a say on behalf of Indian exporters, senior officials said. In 2010, Indian grape exports faced a setback, with EU reluctant to accept Indian table grape consignments as chlormequat chloride - a plant growth regulator - was detected in excess of the prescribed maximum residue level (MRL).
