Union Commerce and Industry Minister, Suresh Prabhu launched digital initiatives by Export Inspection Council (EIC) for ease of export at New Delhi. EIC is the official export certification body of Government of India. Three online portals have been developed in line with Digital India initiative to make it easier to export farm products from India and reduce transaction costs. Entire export food chain has been integrated with these platforms by linking primary production, aquaculture pond, dairy farms and apiaries. The One lab one assessment portal brings together all stakeholders like accreditation bodies, regulators and laboratories on a single platforms and thus provides simplified procedures for granting joint certification and joint decisions which will help in reducing cost, time and multiplicity of assessment.
