India attacks dent Pakistan export target
After the attacks in Mumbai, India's target of tripling exports to the key market of Pakistan looks increasingly out of reach as trade ties are being threatened. India, the world's biggest producer, planned to boost sales to Pakistan to more than 20 million kilograms in the next three years to reach ten percent of total output. Yet amid rising tensions with Pakistan, the world's third largest buyer, the Tea Board of India admits that reaching this goal will be very difficult and could cause plans to diversify away from traditional market such as Russia to derail.
