About One District One Product (ODOP):
♦ The concept`s aim is to transform each of the country`s districts into an export centre.
♦ Identify products with export potential in the district
♦ Solve the bottleneck of exporting these products
♦ Support local exporters and manufacturers as they increase their production capacity and search for new markets outside of India.
♦ The aim is to encourage exports, manufacturing, and service industries in the districts, as well as provide job opportunities.
♦ Every district has formed a District Export Promotion Committee to help with this (DEPC).
♦ These committees can be chaired by a Regional Authority appointed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade and headed by DM/Collector/DC/District Development officials in the district (DGFT).
♦ DEPC`s key responsibility is to collaborate with all relevant stakeholders at the federal, state, and local levels to establish and execute a district export action plan.
