The  objective  is  to convert each District into a manufacturing and Export Hub by identifying products with export potential. Institutional mechanism in the form of State Export  Promotion  Committees  (SEPCs)  and  District  Export  Promotion Committees  (DEPCs) have  been  constituted  in  all  the  36  States/UTs  to provide  support  and  address  the  issues  related  to  export  growth  in  the districts.  All  these  steps  are  aimed  at  increasing  the  export  potential  of ODOP products as part of Districts as Exports Hubs.

The District Export Action Plans include specific actions required to support local  exporters/manufacturers  in  producing  in  adequate  quantity  and requisite  export  quality.  These  also  include  identifying  and  addressing challenges, improving supply chains, market accessibility through branding and handholding.
