What is APEDA RCMC?

The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) mandates that every exporter of scheduled agricultural products must register with it. The Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) is proof of this registration.

It acts as a gateway for exporters to avail various government benefits, schemes, and subsidies aimed at promoting Indian agri-exports.

Mandatory for Export

Without RCMC, exporters cannot export scheduled products (Fruits, Vegetables, Meat, Dairy, etc.) and cannot claim export incentives under FTP.
