The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has facilitated the export of 23.99 metric tonnes (MT) of frozen food products from Haryana to Canada, supporting India’s efforts to expand its agricultural and processed food exports.
The shipment highlights the growing importance of institutional support in connecting Indian food producers and exporters with international markets. APEDA plays a key role in promoting exports of agricultural and processed food products by facilitating market access, improving export capabilities and helping businesses meet international quality and food safety requirements.
Haryana’s participation in the shipment reflects the potential of India’s food processing sector to serve overseas markets. Frozen food products offer opportunities for exporters by extending shelf life, maintaining product quality and supporting long-distance transportation through appropriate cold-chain facilities.
Canada represents an important destination for Indian food exporters, offering opportunities to serve consumers seeking a diverse range of food products. However, exporters must comply with Canadian import regulations, food safety standards, labelling requirements and applicable documentation procedures.
APEDA’s export facilitation initiatives are aimed at strengthening India’s presence in global markets, diversifying export destinations and improving the competitiveness of Indian agricultural and processed food products.
The 23.99 MT shipment from Haryana underscores the importance of export promotion, logistics infrastructure and compliance with international standards in expanding India’s processed food trade.
