GJEPC has rolled out a two-month online Exporters Development Program (EDP) across India, which commenced on 13th December 2024. Designed to support gem and jewellery manufacturers and traders aspiring to enter export markets, the initiative focuses on enhancing participants’ understanding of export fundamentals, providing practical knowledge, and addressing queries.

The EDP comprises eight critical modules tailored to build export readiness, including: Assessing Export Readiness, Export Procedures and Documentation, Identifying Buyers, Exporting via E-Commerce Platforms, Building Brands, MSME Schemes and Policy Incentives, Accessing Middle East Markets through IJEX, and Exporting under FTAs (e.g., UAE, Australia).

With 140 participants enrolled, GJEPC has also deployed Export Managers regionally to provide extensive guidance throughout the programme. This initiative is expected to expand India's G&J exporter base and boost exports, contributing to the sector's revival in the near future.
