Bilateral Trade Agreements
Under the Bilateral Trade Agreement which was signed in 1981, both countries agreed to grant most favoured nation status to each other. Within the provisions of this agreement, India continues to provide certain commodities to Maldives which may even fall under the prohibited/restricted import categories in India. It should be taken into account that the main bulk of items such as rice, wheat flour, sugar, potatoes, onions, eggs, vegetables and other commodities such as river sand and construction materials are imported from India, increasingly making Maldives an attractive market for the growing Indian investors in this sector.
