APEDAs EFFORTSAPEDAs strategy for development of horticulture through

Provision of infrastructure facilities., viz pack houses, cold storages, refrigerated transport units Educating the farmers through 1. Pre and post harvest training programmes 2. Quality awareness programmes 3. Preparation of pre and post harvest manuals in local languages and distribution among the farmers. Building external market linkage for food processing units with major players in food sectors like Hindustan Liver, Dabur, ITC and other companies.12

Established model organic farms Sanctioned a integrated pack house facility for handling perishable products . Training to Progressive Beekeepers Cold stores at Airports.

13

Lack of awareness and infrastructure in all the States resulting in a very poor response from the exporters/farmers to take up new ventures. State Govts not responding to communications sent. Perceived lack of clear strategies in promotion of organic products by the States. Multiple Departments / agencies in the States on the subject (No Single window option for coordination with APEDA). Need for an effective coordination channel in all the States, A Nodal Officer may be identified for timely response and action on all matters.
