Board. Export Products are directed at around 84 countries of the world. The Board is planning to undertake export promotion activities in overseas markets by sending trade delegations to potential markets, organizing participation in the important trade fairs/exhibitions etc. so as to penetrate into new potential markets and to consolidate in the already explored export markets. With an eye on the export market the Board has developed different value added products in association with the leading research institutions in the country viz. DFRL, CFTRI etc. It is expected that many of these products could find export markets.
