\nMuch higher tariffs on key frozen food imports from competitors have made India-and specifically Himalaya-a preferred alternative for U.S. buyers.<\/p>\n
\nHimalaya’s deep domain knowledge of western-style frozen foods, built over decades, makes it a natural choice.<\/p>\n
\nWith over 30 years of trusted ties to major American food service and retail chains, Himalaya is seeing increased demand for long-term volume contracts.<\/p>\n
