Country and product-specific action plans have also been formulated to promote exports. The Government is also in the process to utilise the proposed District as Export Hub Initiative to achieve the objectives of the Agriculture Export Policy.  

Under the DEH initiative, products including agricultural products with export potential have been identified in all 733 districts across the country. State Export Strategy has been prepared in 28 States/UTs.
