पिछले कुछ समय से @APEDADOC के प्रयासों से देशभर के किसानों को उनकी उपज का बेहतर मूल्य और वैश्विक बाजार तक नई पहुंच मिल रही है। लद्दाख से UAE के लिए 5 मीट्रिक टन ऑर्गेनिक खुबानी की पहली खेप का निर्यात इसका एक और सशक्त उदाहरण है।
यह पहल भारतीय ऑर्गेनिक उत्पादों को अंतरराष्ट्रीय पहचान दिलाने, किसानों की आय बढ़ाने और स्थायी आजीविका के नए अवसर सृजित करने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाएगी।
