ASHOKNAGAR

Ashoknagar district is characterized by its fertile plains and is situated in the central part of India, with the Betwa River flowing through it.

While not rich in mineral resources, Ashoknagar does have deposits of limestone and sandstone, supporting a small-scale mining industry.

The district's economy revolves around agriculture, with crops like wheat, soybean, and pulses being cultivated, aided by the fertile soil and moderate climate.

Ashoknagar's major export is agricultural produce, particularly soybean and wheat, contributing significantly to the state's export revenue.

The district's flagship product for the 'One District One Product' (ODOP) initiative is "Chanderi Handloom," renowned for their traditional craftsmanship and intricate designs, symbolizing the region's cultural heritage.

Chanderi Handloom was selected for the ODOP initiative due to its rich tradition of handloom weaving and the potential for boosting the local economy through the promotion of indigenous industries.

SWOT Analysis

Strength:

Geographical Indication product has huge potential in Exports. GI product has its own strength of branding and marketing. Since it is a textile product, there are not many challenges from the supply side.

Weakness:

The product has no specific HS code, so domestic turnover or export data is not available. The product has not developed its international market yet even Indian textile and handloom products have a huge market outside.

Opportunities:

Due to increased e-commerce and publicity of GI products, Chanderi Handloom has a huge opportunity in the domestic and international markets. Processors are now equipped with export knowledge and will contribute to exports.

Threats:

In handloom handicraft products, there are many competitions from various fields. There are always chances for duplicity and misinformation about the product in the market.
