SEATTLE — President Joe Biden announced this week an agreement with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to end tariffs on exports of Washington apples, chickpeas and lentils.

The Indian government imposed a 20% tax increase on U.S. apples after the U.S. imposed tariffs on India for steel and aluminum in 2018.

According to Washington State's Congressional Delegation, the state's apple exports to India were worth $120 million in 2017 but dropped to $3 million in 2022 due to the tariffs.
