A real industry success story, shared for inspiration — not yet a Trade Union customer.
Dilpreet Singh, a farmer from Sangrur, Punjab, faced challenges in accessing international markets for his millet produce. Despite the high nutritional value and demand for millets globally, he lacked the necessary resources, market knowledge, and export experience to tap into these opportunities. The absence of a structured support system made it difficult for him to navigate the complexities of international trade, leading to underutilization of his farm's potential and limited income growth.
Dilpreet Singh sought assistance from the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), which facilitates startups in marketing and exporting millet-based value-added products.
He received guidance on obtaining necessary certifications, understanding export documentation, and adhering to international quality standards.
APEDA provided market intelligence, connecting him with potential buyers and helping him understand global market trends and pricing strategies.
He invested in processing facilities to add value to his millet produce, enhancing its appeal in international markets.
With APEDA's support, Dilpreet successfully exported 14.3 metric tonnes of millet products valued at $45,803, marking his entry into the agri-export sector.
By leveraging APEDA's support, Dilpreet Singh transformed his traditional farming approach into a profitable agri-export business. His successful export of 14.3 metric tonnes of millet products valued at $45,803 not only increased his income but also positioned him as a key player in the millet export market.
