The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has successfully concluded the first cohort of its flagship export acceleration programme, Bharat’s Hub for Agritech, Resilience, Advancement and Incubation for Export Innovation (BHARATI). The Ministry of Commerce and Industry said that the initiative aims to foster innovation-led growth in the agri-food export sector. It also aimed to support India’s target of achieving 50 billion US dollars in exports of APEDA-scheduled products by 2030.
The Ministry further highlighted that within three months of the programme’s launch, several startups recorded export successes, including shipments of GI-tagged Jardalu mangoes to Dubai, millet-based products to New Zealand, and organic products to markets in the UAE, European Union, United States and United Kingdom.
It added that the successful outcomes achieved by startups under the BHARATI initiative underscore the programme’s role in accelerating export-oriented innovation and strengthening India’s agri-food export ecosystem.
