Now the second virtual trade fair (VTF) for horticultural produce organized by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (​APEDA) has been inaugurated. In this article, we will read about the Virtual fair for horticulture products by APEDA.

Know about APEDA

The Government of India in December 1985 established the APEDA under the APEDA Act. The statutory body is largely responsible for encouraging the export of scheduled items from India, among other things. If an individual or company wants to begin an export business, he or she has to get an APEDA Registration.

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, it was unlikely to organize the virtual fair physically. Consequently, an export development authority (APEDA) for agricultural or processed food products took the lead to organize a Virtual fair for horticulture products.
