The fruit is being exported by Cira Enterprises and sourced from farmers in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. The Litchi is being imported by H &amp; J Veg, London.<\/p>\n<p>APEDA collaborated with Department of Agriculture, Bihar along with other stakeholders such as farmers, exporters and importers for facilitating exports of\u00a0<em>Shahi Litchi<\/em>. Senior officials including Dr. M Angamuthu, Chairman, APEDA, N. Saravana Kumar, Principal Secretary Agriculture, Bihar and others participated in the event for exports of\u00a0<em>Shai Litchi<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Because of short-shelf life of litchi, there is need to explore exports opportunities for the processed and value-added products.<\/p>\n<p>Shahi litchi was the fourth agricultural products to get GI certification from Bihar in 2018, after<em>Jardalu mango, Katarni rice<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Magahi paan<\/em>.\u00a0 GI registration for\u00a0<em>Shahi Litchi<\/em>\u00a0is held with the Muzaffarpur-based Litchi Growers Association of Bihar.<\/p>\n<p>Muzzafarpur, Vaishali, Samastipur, Champaran, Begusarai districts and adjoining areas of Bihar have favorable climate for growing\u00a0<em>Shahi Litchi<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>India is the second largest producer of litchi (Litchi chin) in the world, after China.

Bihar tops in terms of production of litchi.<\/p>\n<p>APEDA has been facilitating Bihar government in formulating State agri-export plan which would provide road-map for boosting agricultural and processed food products exports from the State. After the finalisation of State agri-export plan, the export potential of Makhana, mango, litchi and other fruits and vegetables can be harnessed.<\/p>\n<p>Bihar government is making efforts in association with APEDA and other agencies for creating required infrastructures such as customs clearance facility, laboratory testing facility, pack-houses, pre-cooling facilities, which would harness and boost agricultural exports potential of the State.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0a2e\u0a3e\u0a2b\u0a3c \u0a15\u0a30\u0a28\u0a3e, \u0a07\u0a39 \u0a16\u0a2c\u0a30 \u0a24\u0a41\u0a39\u0a3e\u0a21\u0a40 \u0a2c\u0a47\u0a28\u0a24\u0a40 \u0a2d\u0a3e\u0a38\u0a3c\u0a3e \u0a35\u0a3f\u0a71\u0a1a \u0a09\u0a2a\u0a32\u0a2c\u0a27 \u0a28\u0a39\u0a40\u0a02 \u0a39\u0a48\u0964 \u0a15\u0a3f\u0a30\u0a2a\u0a3e \u0a15\u0a30\u0a15\u0a47 \u0a07\u0a71\u0a25\u0a47 \u0a26\u0a47\u0a16\u0a4b\u0964 Delhi 24 MAY 2021\u00a0 In a major boost to export of GI certified products, season\u2019s first consignment of\u00a0Shahi Litchi\u00a0from Bihar was exported to United Kingdom by air route today.The phyto-sanitary certification for exports of\u00a0Shahi Litchiwas issued from newly established certification [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":54532,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[109,122],"tags":[28045,28043,28040,28041,28044,28042],"class_list":["post-54514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-national","category-news","tag-afterjardalu","tag-cira","tag-first-consignment-of-gi-certified-shahi-litchi-from-bihar-exported-to-the-u-k","tag-in-a-major-boost-to-export-of-gi-certified-products","tag-makhana","tag-shahi-litchi-from-bihar-was-exported"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
