The February 2025 U.S.-India Joint Leaders’ Statement emphasized expanding bilateral agricultural trade as a key priority for both governments. At AAHAR 2025 , an international food and hospitality fair in New Delhi, the U.S. Pavilion, organized by the Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), was a major highlight. The word “Aahar” means food, diet or nourishment.
Jorgan K. Andrews, Chargé d’Affaires, a.i., U.S. Embassy New Delhi, inaugurated the pavilion with the theme “Taste of America 2025.” In his remarks, he highlighted the importance of trade in the U.S.-India bilateral relationship. Over five days, American food producers and trade councils worked together to show how U.S. food and beverage exports are becoming a trusted part of Indian kitchens.
The pavilion featured California almonds, walnuts, pulses, blueberries, cranberries, pecans, as well as U.S. duck and turkey products. These items weren’t just on display. Chefs prepared traditional Indian dishes with them, showing how American ingredients adapt to local culinary preferences.
