Are there any Export Zones meant for the Agro based products specifically and are there any references in Export- Import policy on this? |

In chapter 16 of the Export- Import policy of GOI 1/4/97 to 31/3/ 2002, there are policies outlined to provide improved access to the produce/products of the Agriculture and allied sectors in the international market. State Governments are encouraged to identify product specific agri zone for end to end development for export of specific products from a geographically contiguous areas and evolve a comprehensive package of services, such as pre/post harvest treatment and operations, plant protection, processing, packaging, storage and related R&D. APEDA supplements efforts of State government for facilitating exports. |
