Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Odisha hosted a Capacity Building Programme in collaboration with the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) on April 25, 2025, in Bhubaneswar. The initiative focused on enhancing the state's agricultural exports, particularly its unique Geographical Indication (GI) tagged products like Koraput Coffee, Kandhamal Haldi, and Nayagad Brinjal. Through three dedicated technical sessions, the event addressed key areas such as organic product exports, boosting rice exports, and adding value to GI-certified commodities. This effort aligns with the broader goal of strengthening India's agri-export capabilities and empowering local producers through global market integration.
