Agri Export Zone

What are Agri Export Zones

Agri Export Zone was introduced in India in 2001 with the goal of increasing agricultural exports from the country. AEZs are often established in areas with a higher production of agricultural produce as well as adequate infrastructure and connectivity.

Through the EXIM (Export Import) Policy 1997-2001, to take a thorough look at a specific produce/product located in a contiguous area for the aim of developing and sourcing raw materials, processing/packaging, and final exports.

The concept was based primarily on the convergence of existing Central and State Government schemes to address financial interventions required at various stages of the value chain; collaboration among various stakeholders such as the Central Government, State Government, farmers, processors, exporters, and so on; and a focus on targeted products and areas to identify required policy interventions.
