Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings from the High Commission of India, Ottawa.
The ‘One District, One Product’ (ODOP) was launched by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries of India, to help districts reach their full potential, foster economic and socio-cultural growth, and create employment opportunities, especially, in rural areas. It aims to do this by identifying, promoting and branding a product from one district. The One District One Product scheme aims to turn every district in India, into an export hub through promotion of the product in which the district specializes.
The Indian diaspora associations and Chambers of Commerce & Industry in Canada are requested to disseminate the information about the ODOP products among its members so that they could consider purchasing these products from India and also promoting these products among their Canadian friends.
The Invest India team has created a catalogue of ODOP products which can be accessed at: https://static.investindia.gov.in/s3fs-public/2022-10/ODOP%20Gifting%20Catalouge-2022_update%20final_1710_0.pdf. A copy of the catalogue is also below.
Ms. Geethu Nithyanandan [Email: geethu.nithyanandan@investindia.org.in / Mobile: +91 8593983952] of Invest India may be contacted for procurement of ODOP products from India. The High Commission of India, Ottawa can also be contacted at com.ottawa@mea.gov.in in this regard.
Regards,
