APEDA's Landmark Export of Areko Cherries and Scentrose Plums to the UAE
The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), under India's Ministry of Commerce & Industry, recently facilitated the first export shipment of Areko Cherries and Scentrose Plums from Jammu & Kashmir to the United Arab Emirates. This initiative, leveraging one metric tonne of premium fruits from Shopian and Pulwama, opens up international markets for local farmers, offering them notably higher returns compared to domestic sales. APEDA's strategic moves aim to enhance Jammu & Kashmir's global fruit trade presence.
