On 3rd June 2026, APEDA facilitated the first-ever sea shipment of 1 Metric Ton of Botanical-Infused Ready-to-Cook Millet Functional Foods from Karnataka to New Zealand, marking a significant milestone in India’s value-added millet exports.
The consignment, exported by M/s. Infini Agrotek LLP, Bengaluru, showcases India’s growing capabilities in millet innovation by combining traditional nutritious grains with modern food processing and botanical ingredients to meet evolving global consumer preferences.
The exporter leveraged opportunities under APEDA’s BHARATI Initiative, a dedicated programme supporting agri-startups and emerging exporters through market access, trade promotion and participation in major domestic and international trade fairs. These interventions helped the exporter establish global business linkages and access new overseas markets.
The shipment highlights the increasing global demand for innovative millet-based products and is expected to create greater opportunities for millet-growing farmers through enhanced demand, value addition and improved market access. It also reflects India’s commitment to promoting sustainable, nutritious and climate-resilient food systems through millet-led agricultural exports.
