10 Jun, 2025 News Image India targets growth in organic food exports
During Indusfood 2025 in Greater Noida, Dev pointed out that India's agriculture export ranks as the seventh-largest worldwide. Nevertheless, it represents 2.4 per cent of the $2 trillion global agricultural trade, showcasing opportunities for Indian exporters to enhance their market presence. The valuation of India's agricultural exports approximated $50 billion in 2023–24, with ongoing initiatives aiming to exceed this in the current fiscal. Dev noted a strategic pivot towards exporting value-added products instead of raw commodities. In the organic sector, India's contribution to the $147 billion global market is about 2.5 per cent. APEDA aims to expand this share significantly over five years, with exports growing steadily from $213 million in 2012–13 to $495 million in 2023–24.
