District-level laboratories in the offing to efficiently test agricultural produce as per export standards.
May 08, 2023

The directorate of industries has proposed to set up district level laboratories for certification of agriculture produce to promote exports from those districts.
 
A senior official from the directorate of industries said that the laboratories would certify agriculture produce with respect to standards required from the countries where the exports are intended.
 
'The laboratories are proposed to help farmers get certification of mostly major agriculture produce of the districts based on the parameters of presence of chemicals specified by destination countries. There is no common test for the produce as each country has a different set of parameters set by their governments,' said the officer.
 
The exercise is part of the measures taken to boost the locals towards exporting their produce. The department has decided to increase the exports to at least twice the current volume. Currently, farmers have to look for laboratories to get certified, which is a tedious process involving money and time. 'The laboratories to be set up on public private participation mode will certify the products and thus simplify the testing procedure. This will effect in faster turnaround time,' the officer said.
