e) Though India's share in the global market is still nearly 1% only, there is
increasing acceptance of horticulture produce from the country. This has
occurred due to concurrent developments in the areas of state-of-the-art cold
chain infrastructure and quality assurance measures. Apart from large
investment pumped in by the private sector, public sector has also taken
initiatives and with Government assistance several Centers for Perishable
Cargoes and integrated post-harvest handling facilities have been set up in
the country. Capacity building initiatives at the farmers, processors and
exporters' levels has also contributed towards this effort.

small preparation in order to start own export. To start, we will have to
understand a real meaning of it. Export means, to deliver our produce to
foreign countries safe and intact. Many factors are responsible behind this,
for eg- Produce quality; produce pre cooling, value addition treatments,
