<h1>Trade agreements expand market access while preserving domestic safeguards and promoting value-added food exports through targeted support.</h1> India's export expansion strategy combines preferential market access through recently concluded Free Trade Agreements with calibrated domestic safeguards for farmers, fishermen and MSMEs - excluding concessions in sensitive sectors (notably dairy, certain cereals and pulses) and denying duty concessions or market access for genetically modified products - while promoting value addition via the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund and export handholding through the Export Promotion Mission and DGFT to integrate businesses into global value chains.
