Panaji: The Government of Goa on Friday notified the Agricultural Export Policy (AEP) for Goa with the overall objective of increasing farmers’ incomes and the state’s share in national agricultural exports. The policy aims to promote Goa as India’s agricultural export hub, develop necessary export-oriented infrastructure, promote new, indigenous, organic, ethnic, traditional and non-traditional agricultural products for export .
Agricultural products of Goa, like cashew nut, mancurad mango, moira banana, alsando, korgut rice could be the export cover of the state.
“Goa can become an export hub with the establishment of Mormugao Port and Dabolim Airport,” the policy says.
“All of this can be achieved when the efforts of farmers are combined with the development of the necessary export infrastructure in the state,” he says.
The policy should stimulate the development of entrepreneurship, diversify the export basket and promote new, indigenous, organic, ethnic, traditional and non-traditional agricultural products for export.
The policy recommendations are organized into two broad categories: strategic and operational.
Pre-harvest and post-harvest management is essential to maintain product quality. For this, the policy intends to put in place appropriate infrastructure and logistical support, such as packing centers and cold chains, exit point infrastructure, processing infrastructure, test laboratories and refrigerated transport vehicles. .
Special infrastructure, such as steam heat treatment, irradiation facilities, hot and cold water treatment facilities, dehydration, individual blast freezing (IQF) technology, ripening chamber, etc. ., will also be developed for which the participation of private entrepreneurs and Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry Industries will be sought.
“The focus will be on attracting larger-scale private investment in export-oriented infrastructure. Private sector involvement from the initial infrastructure planning results in efficient infrastructure, which will boost the state’s agricultural exports,” the policy states.
The main products exported from Goa are alcoholic beverages, jaggery and confectionery, and cereal preparations, among others.
Export of products from Goa Agricultural and Processed Food Export Development Authority (APEDA) in 2016-2017 was 17740.23 MT worth Rs 9,881.12 lakh. In 2017-2018, the export was 13585.93 MT valued at Rs 7,364.51 lakh.
“It is also recommended to create marketing campaigns for individual fruits or products such as mango mancurad, cashew feni and korgut rice. This activity would be for a sustained communications campaign in the form of a brand blitz in key target markets. This must utilize both digital and traditional media platforms,” the policy states.
