The state of Chhattisgarh is set to enhance its agricultural export capabilities with the establishment of an APEDA regional office in Raipur. This development is a result of the collaborative efforts between Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
The new office will streamline export processes, providing essential services like training, certification, and standardization to local farmers, producers, and exporters.
Key services such as phyto-sanitary certification, quality assurance, and lab testing will be readily available within the state, saving time and reducing operational costs for agricultural businesses.
This initiative aims to facilitate the export of key agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables, rice, and millets, improving market access and profitability for farmers.
Farmers will gain access to better prices, innovative technologies, and insights into global marketing strategies through export-related training and support programs.
Chhattisgarh’s agricultural sector is poised to benefit from APEDA’s export promotion schemes and subsidies, bolstering the growth of local businesses and entrepreneurs.
Chief Minister Sai has lauded the initiative, highlighting its significance in connecting local farmers with international markets. The office is expected to be a significant catalyst for economic growth, promoting the ‘Vocal for Local to Global’ vision and opening new avenues for agricultural exports.
