Will APEDA’s Training Initiative for Kashmir Fruit Growers Create Effect?
As per the latest updates, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has organised a specialised training programme in Kashmir. The Programme aimed at helping fruit growers enhance export readiness and boost access to international markets. Moreover, the initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen fruit production, improve fruit prices for farmers, and enhance India’s horticulture exports through better global market integration.
Interestingly, the programme emphasised export-oriented fruit farming attributes, such as quality standards, modern packaging techniques, certification processes, post-harvest management, and understanding of international trade requirements. In addition, fruit growers were also guided on meeting global food safety standards
