Exports of major agriculture and processed products, broadly divided under 27 categories by Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), have jumped 23.4 per cent to $19.7 billion during April-January of 2021-22 from $15.97 billion in the year-ago period, the Commerce Ministry said on Monday.
