Abstract	This study looks at the effect of MSME schemes on the export growth of Geographical Indication tagged vegetables in India. A GI tag is given to products which have a defined geographical origin and which develop certain unique qualities, thus we also see it as a tool which preserves traditional agricultural heritage and regional identity. At present in India there are over 13 GI tagged vegetables which include well known types of Naga Tree Tomato, Byadgi Chilli, Jalgaon Bharit Brinjal etc. The Micro, Small and Medium scale Industries (MSME) sector is a key player in the promotion of these GI products which we see through the financial support, export incentives, skill development and market linkup programs they provide. This study looks at how these schemes have played out in terms of increased production capacity, brand value and international reach for GI based vegetable startups. Also we see the issues that small scale entrepreneurs face in getting to global markets. The results put forth the role of MSME policies in augmenting India’s agricultural exports and in supporting sustainable rural development.
