Mission Apeda

nhancement in export competitiveness has direct correlation with the

upgradation of existing infrastructure. To enable India to become a

major player in the global food market, it is important to develop and

market internationally competitive products and services. APEDA

realizes its responsibility towards export lead growth and has thus

initiated various developmental programmes

Introducing better farming

techniques, setting up centers for perishable cargo at airports

and seaports, development of pack houses, setting up auction

centers for flowers, up gradation of laboratories for testing &

research work, formulation of software to trace the origin of the

product to the farm level.

Product quality is a prime criterion in

gaining access to competitive markets. APEDA takes stringent

measures to ensure the implementation of sound regulatory

policies, licensing and certification like HACCP, CODEX, Residue

Monitoring Plans, India GAP, etc.

Setting up of an efficient and

robust supply chain requires innovation and dissemination of

information on new concepts and technology. APEDA regularly

organizes awareness and training workshops for growers and

exporters to create value added products.

To enhance interaction between the producers and

exporters and to provide international trade information at the
