APEDA was established in 1985 by the Government of India to promote agricultural exports. It monitors the export of several products including rice, sugar, spices, marine products, and more. APEDA provides services like exporter registration, quality standards, market access support, and financing. It aims to develop infrastructure, enhance quality, and promote Indian agricultural products globally through initiatives such as participation in trade fairs. A research study analyzed export trends in APEDA products and found challenges include tariffs, standards, domestic supply issues and infrastructure gaps. APEDA works to address such challenges and facilitate agricultural export growth.
