The “Agriculture Export Policy” is the program that offers financial aid for the creation of agricultural export zones in India. In order to double agricultural exports and include Indian farmers and their goods into global value chains, the Government of India introduced the Agriculture Export Policy in 2018.
According to the farm Export Policy, financial support is given in a variety of ways to create farm export zones, including:
Infrastructure Development: In farm export zones, the policy is focused on creating infrastructure facilities such cold chains, storage facilities, packaging facilities, and processing units. These infrastructural facilities are established with financial support in order to raise the caliber and value of agricultural products.
Export Promotion: Through financial assistance for activities including market expansion, participation in trade shows and exhibitions, branding and marketing initiatives, and export promotion campaigns, the scheme seeks to increase the export of agricultural products. Exporters are given financial support to widen their customer base and boost exports.
The Agriculture Export Policy places a strong emphasis on the value of capacity building and training for farmers, exporters, and other industry participants. To improve farmers’ and exporters’ ability to export, financial aid is given to run skill development programs, training seminars, and awareness campaigns.
