What is the importance of AEZ?
The primary objective of an Agri-Export Zone is to provide remunerative returns to farmers on a sustained basis by improved access to exports. The emphasis of the scheme is on market orientation. It starts with identification of products, which have a good export potential, devising strategies for market penetration and niche marketing, and then taking necessary steps to exploit the market potential. The implementation of projects under the Agri-Export Zone is expected to result in bringing down cost of production, enhance product acceptability and competitiveness in the international market and better price realization for agro products.
