The Government of India under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry established the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) under the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority Act, which was enacted by Parliament in December 1985. All exporters of items listed in the APEDA Act must register with the agency. APEDA provides information, guidelines and financial assistance for the development of the scheduled products. According to the Foreign Trade Policy, a Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) is required for exporters in order to avail the benefits under the policy. Holding the certificate can also help exporters in availing benefits with respect to Customs and Excise.
