India shipped in $ 1.4 bln. food products to US in `08-09: FDA
India shipped in $ 1.4 bln. food products to US in `08-09: FDA
Delhi, November 27, 2009: India shipped in $1.4 billion of food products to United States of America (USA) in 2008-09 and it’s pharmaceutical companies exported medicines worth $1.38 billion to USA in preceding fiscal, registering a 39 per cent growth in dollar terms, said Mr. Bruce Ross, Country Director of FDA.
In his address at ASSOCHAM Knowledge Millennium Summit here today, Mr. Ross said that food products exports to US in 2008-09 mainly consisted of shrimp, cashews, spices and tea.
He exuded confidence that Indian exports of medicines and pharma products would substantially increase to USA to the best satisfaction of its people since pharma companies have been following stringent benchmarks to manufacture such products.
According to him, out of 6,300 active drug imported in USA from various parts of the world, 1700 are from Indian companies and that shows the potential for Indian pharma companies to enhancing their exports, pointed out Mr. Ross.
India ranked Fourth in exporters category of drugs to USA, contributing a share of 6% in its total medicine import. Share of India’s ranking has been 8th in food product’s exports. It’s ranking in devices exports to USA has been 25th. Devices exports comprised x-ray systems, TVs and monitors with cathode ray tubes, microwave devices, lasers, tanning beds, etc. includes electronic radiation-based medical devices. Cosmetics exports ranking has been 14 and those of animal feeds 15th.
Referring to challenges of globalization, Mr. Ross said that it has fundamentally changed the environment for regulating food and medical products as also created unique regulatory challenges for FDA.
These consisted of more foreign facilities supplying the U.S., increasing volume of imported products, more outsourcing of manufacturing and clinical trials, greater complexity in supply chains and growing complexity of products and manufacturing methods, he pointed out.
Some of the other challenges that he named included imports coming from countries with less well developed regulatory systems and greater opportunities for economic fraud.

Harsh provisions of drugs amendment act `08 being diluted to protect original drugs MFRS.: DCGI
Harsh provisions of drugs amendment act `08 being diluted to protect original drugs MFRS.: DCGI
Delhi, November 27, 2009: Dr. Surinder Singh, Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) on Friday announced that some of stringent provisions in Drugs Amendment Act 2008 are being diluted to ensure that genuine manufacturers of drugs and pharma products are not harassed in court of laws for their alleged involvement in making of spurious drugs.
In his concluding remarks ate to ASSOCHAM organised 7th Knowledge Millennium Summit here today, Dr. Singh said that harsher and stringent provisions earlier incorporated in the proposed amendment Act to punish fake manufacturers of pharma products are being currently scrutinised by Ministry of Law & Justice.
He, however, added that in the proposed Amendment Act, the government is unlikely to empower drug inspectors with authorities to recommend stringent punishment for genuine drugs manufacturers who are falsely ascribed and attributed allegations so that courts do not take strong view against them.
This is being done since Indian pharma industry represented against such stringent punishments proposed in the Drug Amendment Act, arguing that at least genuine manufacturers are not dragged into court of law on grounds of false allegations laid out against them out of vindictiveness, pointed out Dr. Singh.
He said that while the government will take strongest possible view to punish those that indulge in fake drug manufacturing but come out with provisions to protect original manufacturers so that these are not harassed and for that the authoratitive powers would not be conferred upon drug inspectors after the amendment to the Act are notified.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Bruce Ross, Country Director of FDA said that domestic manufacturers of drugs and pharma products would have to enhance their quality and standards to continue to export their products in US. We keep strong watch on the CGI and its activities to protect pharma consumers in US as also promote bilateral pharma trade between India and USA.
Among others who spoke on the occasion included ASSOCHAM President Dr. Swati Piramal who said that India would emerge a strong pharma product making country to supply drugs to world consumers at many times cheaper a price with global established standards and benchmarks.
