Overview
APEDA registration is mandatory for exporters dealing in scheduled agricultural and processed food products from India. APEDA stands for Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority, which functions under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. The authority was established to promote, regulate and develop the export of agricultural and processed food products. Any business or individual planning to export APEDA notified products must obtain registration before commencing exports.
APEDA registration is required for exporters of products such as fruits and vegetables, meat and meat products, poultry, dairy products, cereals, rice, pulses, processed foods, organic products, honey and floriculture products. Without APEDA registration, exporters cannot legally export these items or claim benefits under export promotion schemes. The registration helps exporters gain credibility with international buyers and Indian authorities.
Once registered, exporters can avail various benefits including access to export promotion schemes, financial assistance, training programs, quality certification support and participation in international trade fairs. APEDA also supports exporters in improving packaging, quality standards and compliance with international food safety norms. The registration is valid for a lifetime and does not require renewal, making it a one time compliance.
