AP MSMEs Eye ₹100 Crore Export Opportunities At Vijayawada Buyer-Seller Meet
The meet is being organised under the Andhra Pradesh MSME Export Development Programme (APMXDP): Reports
VIJAYAWADA: More than 200 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) from Andhra Pradesh are hoping to tap global markets through direct business engagements with 34 international buyers at the two-day AP Reverse Buyer Seller Meet (RBSM) 2026 at Vijayawada.
The meet is being organised under the Andhra Pradesh MSME Export Development Programme (APMXDP), an initiative of the AP MSME Development Corporation in collaboration with the India SME Forum under the RAMP (Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance) initiative of the World Bank and the Ministry of MSME.
Delegations of buyers from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Japan, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe are participating in the programme. This will give local enterprises an opportunity to understand overseas sourcing requirements, buyer expectations, and market trends.
The programme aims to facilitate at least 100 export deals and orders, with potential export opportunities estimated at around ₹100 crore.
The meet will cover 11 priority sectors, including agro and food products, agro machinery, textiles and apparel, electronics and electricals, drugs and pharmaceuticals, medical devices, health and wellness, solar components, chemicals, automotive and auto components, and engineering goods. Curated one-to-one business-to-business meetings have been arranged between MSMEs and the international buyers.
NTR district collector Dr. G. Lakshmisha said Andhra Pradesh is focusing on innovation, investment, and enterprise development to promote an entrepreneurial society through the “One Family, One Entrepreneur” approach.
AP MSME Development Corporation CEO Vishwa Manoharan said the government is fully backing MSMEs and is committed to converting buyer-seller interactions into export orders and long-term international partnerships.
India SME Forum president Vinod Kumar said the initiative would help MSMEs overcome a major hurdle — access to credible international buyers. It will enable AP entrepreneurs to evolve from capable producers into globally competitive suppliers.
RBSM is part of APMXDP's broader effort to make MSMEs export-ready through capacity building, certification, market intelligence, and international trade support.
