Falling under the Bharatpur Divisional Commissionerate, the district is near to Ranthambore National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Ranthambore Fort.
Speaking to an audience of more than 100 agriculturist , new entrepreneurs of guava, organic food, and dairy products , Mr. Virendra Singh, I.T.S., Joint DGFT spoke on the basics required to export these products from the district. The event was further graced by the kind presence of Mr. K.C.Verma, I.A.S., District Collector, Sawai Madhopur, who discussed with the participants on the importance of collective farming and procedures of improvements in agricultural practices to boost productivity.
Mr. Virendra Singh said “to initiate exports, the process involves establishing an organization, opening of a bank account, obtaining permanent account number (PAN), obtaining importer-exporter code (IEC) number, registration cum membership certificate (RCMC), selection of product & markets, finding buyers through participation in trade fairs, buyer seller meets and exhibitions.
Mr. Singh further added “On receiving an export order, it should be examined carefully in respect of items, specification, payment conditions, packaging, delivery schedule, etc. and then the order should be confirmed. Accordingly, the exporter may enter into a formal contract with the overseas buyer. After confirmation of the export order, it should be remembered that as the order has been obtained with much efforts and competition so the procurement should also be strictly as per buyer’s requirement.”
Mr. K.C.Verma, said “ PPPs could help bring cutting-edge technologies and approaches to India’s agricultural sector. IT and biotech stand to transform agriculture, raising its production levels and outputs. We need PPPs focused on getting farmers access to vital information, methodologies and the latest technology to help them in areas such as crop rotation, weather patterns, fertilizer use and going organic – all at the click of a button or a simple SMS on their mobile phones.”
Vote of thanks was proposed by Ms. Jaskaur Meena, former Union minister of state, Government of India and founder, Shabri Farm and Dairy
