APEDA Registration – Process, Documents & Benefits | YKG Global

 

What is APEDA Registration?

The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) is a government body under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. It promotes the export of agricultural products, provides guidelines for quality, and helps Indian exporters access global markets.

Getting APEDA Registration is mandatory for businesses exporting scheduled agricultural products. Without this registration, exporters cannot legally ship these products abroad.

Why is APEDA Registration Important?

APEDA Registration ensures that exporters comply with global trade standards, maintain product quality, and access various government benefits. It also provides an APEDA RCMC (Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate), which is required to export listed products.
