Apeda Registration

🚀 APEDA Registration – Open Global Markets with Confidence

Are you exporting agricultural or processed food products from India? An APEDA (Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority) license is your gateway to international markets—and it’s legally required for over 30 “scheduled” categories, including fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, honey, floriculture, processed foods, and more.

🌟 Why APEDA Registration Matters

Legal Compliance: APEDA registration is mandatory to export covered products—without it, exporters can’t get their goods cleared.
Export Support & Subsidies: Benefit from government schemes for cold chains, quality testing, packaging development, and trade promotion.
Market Access & Brand Credibility: Your APEDA license shows global buyers you meet international standards—and grants access to trade fairs and buyer-seller meets.
Expert Guidance & Quality Control Leverage APEDA-led training, market intelligence, and technical support for smoother exports.

📝 Who Should Apply?

Any Indian exporter—manufacturers, suppliers, processors—handling scheduled products under APEDA’s list.
Requires a valid Import-Export Code (IEC) from DGFT.
