Issues with exports from the state Poor quality produce Lac of good quality seeds Threshing in unhygienic conditions Poor market intelligence Lac of market information to divert produce to desirable markets No estimates available for exports of spices, Kinow, Heena, Isagol Lac of certification Unawareness about Sanitary & Phyto sanitary standards Organic certification Poor PHM Infrastructure Limited facilities for grading, sorting & packaging Inappropriate transport facilities for erishables Poor Mandi infrastructure Lack of net work of rural/ local markets Lac of perishable cargo centre
