The government exported a consignment of 30 metric tons (MT) of GI-tagged jaggery from Muzzafarnagar to Bangladesh. The initiative marks the beginning of direct exports of jaggery from western Uttar Pradesh to Bangladesh through Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs). The export was facilitated by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority.

Another consignment of Anthurium flowers was flagged off from Mizoram’s Capital Aizawl to Singapore. The first ever consignment comprised more than one thousand Anthurium cut flowers. The consignment also marks a significant step toward expanding floriculture exports, particularly from the North Eastern Region.
