Explanation:

Recently, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has begun a few initiatives to popularise some of the exclusive agricultural products from the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

Some of the products covered under the initiative are the fragrant rice variety Mushkbudji, Acacia honey and Kashmir valley apples.

Already, commercial shipments of Ladakh Halman apricots from Leh to Dubai have begun for the first time during August-September, with the exports being handled by local entrepreneurs from Kargil.

APEDA planned a stakeholders’ consultation involving start-ups, entrepreneurs, cooperatives, FPOs, FPCs, UT officials, concerned officials from the agriculture university, KVKs, ICAR institutions to augment export of potential products from the UT of Jammu and Kashmir.

APEDA also co-organised a Vanijya Utsav in Leh during September 21-22, where discussions on linking products from the union territory to the international market were held with the stakeholders.
