## 'ONE DISTRICT, ONE PRODUCT AND DISTRICTS AS EXPORT HUBS INITIATIVE'

(a) The Districts as Export Hubs (DEH) initiative, launched in August 2019, is aimed at identifying, branding, and promoting products and services from each district in India that possess unique economic potential. The core objective of the initiative is to boost exports by leveraging the inherent strengths and competitive advantages of each district, while also promoting decentralized and inclusive export growth.

Under  the  DEH  framework,  products  and  services  have  been  identified  through  a consultative process with the respective State Governments and Union Territories, taking into account factors such as existing production clusters, export potential, local specialization,  employment  generation,  and  historical  or  cultural  significance  of  the product.

In the case of Andhra Pradesh, a detailed list of products and services identified under the DEH initiatives, district-wise, is provided at Annexure - A.

One District One Product (ODOP) initiative aims to select, brand, and promote at least One Product from each District (One District - One Product) of the country for enabling holistic growth across all regions.

The  selection  of  products  for  the  ODOP  is  as  per  recommendations  of  the  concerned State/UT  authorities.  Under  the  ODOP  initiative,  States/UTs  select  the  products  for  the ODOP List by taking into consideration the existing ecosystem on the ground, potential for exports,  and  GI-tagged  products.  The  finalized  list  is  communicated  to  DPIIT  by  the relevant Department of States/UTs.

Details of unique products identified (District-wise) under the ODOP initiative as on date from the State of Andhra Pradesh is at Annexure - B.

(b) The  ODOP-DEH  initiative  is  presently  an  ongoing  initiative  which  leverages existing  funds  under  various  schemes  and  does  not  have  separate  outlay  under  the  said initiative.The promotional activities are undertaken with existing funds of Department of Commerce, DPIIT and the concerned state government.

(c) to (f) As part of the Pilot Project under the Grassroots Initiatives for Development (GRID)  program of Exim Bank, in collaboration with the DGFT, no district from  Andhra Pradesh has been included at the Pilot stage.
