<h1>2005 Review Uncovers Issues in Rajasthan's Agricultural Export Zones; No New AEZs Approved Without Strong Justification.</h1> A peer evaluation conducted in 2005 on Agricultural Export Zones (AEZs) in Rajasthan revealed several issues: lack of ownership by government authorities, insufficient awareness of the scheme among stakeholders, inadequate project orientation, poor coordination and monitoring, insufficient public investment from central and state governments, and excessive proliferation of AEZs. Based on these findings, it was decided not to approve new AEZs unless there were compelling reasons. This information was provided by the Minister of State for Commerce and Industry in a written response to a question in the Lok Sabha.
