THE SHIFT
The UK's Indian-food economy is vast and mainstream, but tariffs on rice, processed foods, sauces and ready meals blunted the economics. CETA removes them. Exporters of basmati, spices, pickles, sauces and retail-ready meals can now compete on shelf price in a market that already knows and wants the product.
