The Centre has launched a new mobile app for facilitating farm registration, testing and certification of grape, pomegranate and vegetables meant for export from India to the European Union.
The mobile app, hortinet, developed by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), allows farmers to apply online to facilitate their farm registration. It also helps track the status of applications and approvals by States and sampling by authorised laboratories. “This new mobile app will also assist State horticulture/ agriculture department to capture real-time details of farmers, farm location, products and details of inspections such as date of inspection and name of inspecting agency directly from the field.”
Hortinet is being launched in Hindi, Marathi and English to make it user-friendly, said D K Singh, Chairman, APEDA.
