In a major boost to India's agricultural exports, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry facilitated the first export consignment of 25 metric tonnes of GI-tagged Joha rice from Assam to the United King
Assam's farm produce such as ginger, pepper, lemon, and joha rice has great demand in the national and international market and the farmers of these items should be able to reap remunerative values for their products only if their produce is further processed and packaged.
