Huge opportunity for Indian processed-food exporters in the UK!

With the India–UK trade agreement now in force, UK import duties of up to 70% on processed foods have been eliminated, along with duties on shrimp and instant coffee. This gives Indian products a strong price advantage in the UK market.

The UK imports nearly USD 50.7 billion of processed food annually, but India’s current share is only 0.6% — a major untapped opportunity for Indian MSMEs, food brands, and exporters.

Key opportunity areas:
✅ Ready-to-eat & ready-to-cook foods
✅ Spices, masalas, sauces & condiments
✅ Snacks, bakery & confectionery
✅ Pickles, chutneys & preserves
✅ Shrimp, seafood & instant coffee
✅ Private-label and retail-ready products

TPCI and UKIBC have also signed an MoU to support trade missions, buyer connections, market intelligence, and SME growth in the UK.

For Indian food exporters, this is the right time to focus on UK compliance, attractive packaging, certifications, and buyer development.
