08 May 2012 Evaluate

Indian government is taking copious numbers of incentives and action for promoting the exports of agricultural products including fruits and vegetables under Plan schemes of the Commodity Boards and Export Promotion Councils etc. These schemes are likely to benefit the entire horticulture industry.

Under the administrative control of the Department of Commerce, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) is also putting various Schemes into practice to expand financial assistance to the eligible exporters; namely schemes for market development; infrastructure development; quality development; research & development and transport assistance. Besides these measures, the Ministry of Commerce & Industry has put in place various schemes namely MDA, MAI, ASIDE, Vishesh Krishi and Gram Upaj Yojana, Focus Product Scheme, Focus Market Scheme, Town of Export Excellence, etc. to encourage exports.

The government also provides assistance under Centrally Sponsored Scheme on National Horticulture Mission (NHM) for various interventions aimed at increasing production and productivity of horticultural crops for the holistic development of horticulture in the country. Production related activities include development of planting material through nurseries, area expansion, rejuvenation, integrated pest management, integrated nutrient management and creation of water resources. Besides, assistance is also being included for creating infrastructure for post harvest management and marketing.

Export of fruits and vegetables are allowed without any constraint under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP).  The government keeps close and steady eyes on the accessibility of all agriculture products at reasonable price in domestic market and imposes restrictions on their exports as and when required.
