APEDA’s Works In IFE (London) Indian exporters participated in the IFE event thanks to APEDA’s assistance, showcasing a wide variety of food products across all categories. About 50 millet (Shree Anna)-based products on display at the APEDA pavilion drew a lot of visitors’ attention. APEDA presented and distributed the highest quality wine from the lush grape vineyards, Alphonso mangoes with GI tags, and millet-based value-added products at the IFE 2023 event. APEDA is actively focusing on the vision of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to promote millets (Shree Anna) in international markets by organizing promotional events abroad and taking part in international food expos as India celebrates the International Year of Millets in 2023. Commenting on India’s participation at the IFE, M. Angamuthu, chairman, APEDA, said, “This huge market can be made more pragmatic by way of quarantine relaxations, importation benefits and further opening the market.” He further mentioned, “The base work is going on where we are expecting India– UK FTA negotiations that will not only pave the way for Indian products in large quantities but also bring the cost of Indian products down relatively in days to come,” adding that the Indian High Commission at London has been very supportive and is working towards the betterment of the trade ties between the two countries.
