John Southwell, Australia's Trade and Investment Commissioner for food, agriculture and consumer goods in India welcomed Anko's entry into the Indian market via Amazon.in. According to John, "Anko's launch in India is a landmark for both countries, as we are now witnessing bilateral commerce synergies being explored. Anko has been a beloved brand in Australia, and we are thrilled to see it enter the Indian market via Amazon.in. Equally, we are delighted that a number of Anko's products are made right here in India and are exported not just to consumers in Australia but around the world - which means economic returns to both countries. This is a testament to the strong trade and investment relationship between Australia and India"
