Summary
$860 billion in 2025-26 exports framed a Telangana outreach event where Commerce Ministry officials urged MSMEs to work with APEDA, DGFT and ECGC to expand the state's overseas sales.
The officials said exporters should use government schemes, join awareness and capacity-building programmes, and prioritize quality standards and certifications to scale up shipments despite global uncertainty.
India now exports only about 13% of its nearly 12 million tonnes of annual spice output, National Turmeric Board Secretary N. Bhavanisri said, underscoring room for export growth in farm products.
Telangana already contributes ₹8,000-₹10,000 crore to India's non-basmati rice exports and is emerging as a confectionery export hub, with APEDA backing GI-tagged mango exports, organic trade and testing infrastructure.
