In the year 2015–16, India has not been an importer of which of the following products?
(i) Apples
(ii) Rice
(iii) Pulses.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
In 2015–16, India was the world's largest exporter of rice and was completely self-sufficient in domestic rice production, whereas it was a major importer of pulses (importing nearly 5.8 million tonnes to meet domestic demand-supply gaps) and also imported significant quantities of fresh apples. Therefore, among the three products, India was not an importer (in any significant or net sense) of rice—making ('Only (ii)') the correct answer.
