In a move to boost India-agri food exports, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (Apeda) has facilitated the flagging off of the first-ever sea shipment of botanical-infused ready-to-cook millet functional foods from Karnataka to New Zealand.
The export consignment, comprising one metric tonne of value-added millet-based products, was shipped by Infini Agrotek LLP, Bengaluru. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry said that the shipment reflects the growing global demand for innovative millet-based products derived from India’s traditional grains.
“The export of botanical-infused millet functional foods highlights the growing potential of India’s value-added agricultural products and is expected to benefit millet-growing farmers through enhanced demand and improved market access. Such initiatives contribute to strengthening India’s agri-export ecosystem while generating opportunities across the millet value chain,” the ministry said in an official statement.
The ministry said that the exporter had actively participated in Apeda-supported trade promotion events, including World Food India 2025, Indus Food 2025 and Gulfood 2026. Participation in these exhibitions enabled the company to connect with international buyers, expand its customer base and strengthen its presence in global markets.
The shipment was virtually flagged off by Abhishek Dev, Chairman, Apeda. During the interaction, the exporter was encouraged to leverage Apeda’s export promotion initiatives and continue participating in trade fairs and exhibitions to further expand market reach and explore new business opportunities.
