In addition, APEDA conducts Reverse Buyer–Seller Meets (RBSMs) in India by inviting prominent importers from various countries. These events provide a dedicated platform for display, interaction, and promotion of India’s export-potential agricultural and processed food before prospective international buyers, thereby strengthening market access and trade linkages. Under APEDA’s BHARATI initiative — “Bharat’s Hub for Agritech, Resilience, Advancement and Incubation for Export Enablement”, 100 start-ups comprising agri-food, agri-tech, and SPS solutions have been selected. APEDA provides handholding and mentoring support to these startups to facilitate export enablement. In addition, APEDA organizes capacity building–cum–sensitization programmes across India on topics related to importing country requirements, export procedures, quality standards, and regulatory compliance for APEDA-scheduled products to support Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), women entrepreneurs, stakeholders, and FPOs in accessing international market. Districts as Export Hubs (DEH) is a capacity-building initiative of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Department of Commerce, aimed at promoting exports, manufacturing, and employment generation at the grassroots level. Under the DEH initiative, export facilitation, handholding and sensitization support, and onboarding to digital e-commerce and logistics platforms are provided, thereby equipping exporters and MSMEs with the essential support required to effectively engage in international trade through awareness programs. The Government has approved the Scheme for Export Promotion Mission (EPM) with the objective of strengthening India’s export competitiveness and providing targeted support to exporters.

The Government is working towards increasing the exports of agricultural and allied commodities and increasing its share in the global trade. This information was given by the Minister of State for Food Processing Industries Shri Ravneet Singh in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today. ***** CMC – MoFPI (Release ID: 2246332) Visitor Counter : 725 Read this release in: Urdu , हिन्दी Ministry of Food Processing Industries Increase In Export of Processed Food Posted On: 27 MAR 2026 9:48PM by PIB Delhi The total export value of the processed food products from India in the last three years are as follows: Figures in US$ Million Category 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 Processed-Food Export (ITC HS Chapter 16-23) 13078.4 10881.8 10097.97 Source: DGCIS, Kolkata Major food export destination countries for India are USA, UAE, Bangladesh, State of Libya, Sudan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Somalia, Thailand, Tanzania, etc. Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) under Central Sector Scheme (CSS) provides financial assistance to facilitate the export of agri/horticulture processed food products to exporters on PAN India basis.
