The agri export
zones are set up on the basis of particular produce / products that are grown
largely in a contiguous area for the purpose of developing and sourcing the raw
materials, their processing / packaging, leading to final exports. Thus, the
entire effort is centered on a cluster approach of identifying the potential
products, the geographical region in which these are grown and adopting an
end-to-end approach of integrating the entire process, right from the stage of
production till it reaches the market.

The AEZs are
expected to converge the efforts made, hitherto, by various central and state
government departments for increasing exports of agricultural commodities from
India. These agri zones take a comprehensive view of a particular produce /
product located in a geographically contiguous area for the purpose of
developing and sourcing raw materials, their processing/packaging, and leading
to final exports. The government had undertaken a peer evaluation of the
existing AEZs in 2005 to assess their performance. On the basis of the
recommendations of the peer group in 2005, it was decided not to consider
notification of new AEZs unless there were strong compelling reasons to do so.
