India-Oman Trade Deal: Duty-Free Horizon for Potato Exports
Indian Potato Exports Set for Massive Boost as Oman Grants Duty-Free Access Under New Pact.
In a landmark shift for agricultural trade, India and Oman officially signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) on December 18, 2025.
This historic deal eliminates customs duties on over 98% of Indian exports, specifically listing potatoes as a primary beneficiary. Previously, Indian potato shipments to Oman faced import duties ranging from 5% to 100%, often making them less competitive against regional rivals.
Government officials highlight that this move puts Indian produce on equal footing with major exporters like the US and Singapore. With Oman importing approximately $6 billion in agri-products annually, Indian farmers in northern hubs—particularly Uttar Pradesh and Punjab—are expected to see a significant uptick in demand.
