APEDA’s initiatives facilitate various aspects of the supply chain, from pre-harvest support to post-harvest processing and packaging. By providing financial aid and technical assistance, APEDA equips stakeholders with the necessary tools to meet global quality standards and enhance product competitiveness. This strategic support has enabled small-scale farmers to upscale their operations, thereby increasing the overall export volume of fruits and vegetables.
Moreover, APEDA’s sector-specific training programs elevate the understanding of best practices in agriculture and export management. This capacity-building approach not only improves yield but also diversifies the range of products offered to international markets. Enhanced quality and variety naturally attract greater demand, further propelling export growth.
The impressive 47.3% increase in exports is a testament to the efficacy of APEDA’s financial assistance schemes, which are designed to align with the aspirations of India’s agricultural sector. As the global appetite for fresh produce continues to rise, APEDA’s support mechanisms position India as a formidable player in the global fruit and vegetable trade. Thus, the sustained collaboration between government entities and agricultural stakeholders stands to fortify India’s economic resilience through increased exports.
