Katihar, India – Ravjit Singh, a leather garment trader in Denver, faces rising costs due to 50% tariffs on Indian goods, significantly impacting his household budget, especially for snacks like fox nuts, which have doubled in price. While US tariffs have led to a 40% drop in exports of fox nuts, the domestic market is thriving, with increasing demand for the health-promoting superfood. India produces 90% of global fox nuts, mainly sourced from Bihar, and the industry is witnessing growth amid new international markets. Entrepreneurs are capitalizing on the rising domestic demand, reversing declines in exports as awareness of health benefits grows.
