Gems, jewellery exports dip 18.79% to $2 bn in Aug: GJEPC

Shipments during the month under review improved from July, when it was $1.66 billion

Mumbai: India’s gems and jewellery exports declined 18.79 per cent to $2.01 billion in August due to sluggish global demand, according to GJEPC data.

The exports stood at $2.47 billion during August 2023, Gem Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) said.

However, it said the shipments during the month under review improved from July, when it was $1.66 billion.

“We need to work hard to feed the demand in key export markets like the US and China. Meanwhile, mid-stream manufacturers are struggling with both demand as well as profitability,” the council’s chairman, Vipul Shah told PTI.

The data also showed that exports of cut and polished diamonds dipped by about 26 per cent at $1 billion in August as against $1.36 billion in the same period of previous year.

The total gross export of gold jewellery too contracted by 1.15 per cent to $687.69 million during the month.

Commenting on the numbers, Kama Jewelry MD Colin Shah said the gems and jewellery sector domestically has been performing well as compared to the global market scenario.

“The price correction in gold after the customs-duty cut will be passed down to the buyers, ultimately driving up sales,” he said adding the sector has witnessed a dull period in exports for the longest time and the sales during this festive season will bring in some respite.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
