APEDA RCMC Registration in Pune: 2026 Guide for Fresh Fruits, Grapes, Onions & Processed Food Exports

Dedicated Guide to APEDA RCMC Registration in Pune for Agricultural Exporters

Pune district and the surrounding agricultural belts of Junnar, Baramati, Indapur, and Shirur form the beating heart of Maharashtra's agro-export economy. Shipping fresh table grapes to the European Union, pomegranates to the Middle East, onions to Southeast Asia, or packaged ready-to-eat foods to North America requires mandatory registration with the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA).

Under Section 12 of the APEDA Act, 1985, every person exporting scheduled agricultural products must obtain a Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) within one month of commencing business. Filing is executed via the DGFT e-RCMC portal supported by IEC, FSSAI Food License, and bank certification.
