The Federation of Indian Export Organisations

represents the Indian entrepreneur's spirit of

enterprise in the global market. Set up in
October, 1965, the Federation, known popularly
as "FIEO", has kept pace with the country's
evolving economic and trade policies, and
provided the content, direction and thrust to
India's expanding international trade.
Today, FIEO expresses all the dynamism and resurgence
that are the hallmark of India's open, liberal and
progressively market-friendly economic and trade
regime, representing the Indian export promotion effort
entirely. Its membership, largely comprising professional
exporting firms of long experience called Government
recognised Export Houses, Trading Houses, Star Trading
Houses and Super Star Trading Houses and Consultancy
exporting firms.
In essence, FIEO represents directly or indirectly, over
100,000 exporters across India. Exports by FIEO members
comprise a wide spectrum of products including Gems &
Jewellery, Textiles, Garments, Engineering Goods, Leather
and Leather Products, Handicrafts, Chemicals and allied
products, Cosmetics, Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, etc. as
well as a wide range of Consultancy Services covering
Infrastructure, Engineering, Industries, Cement, Leather,
Paper & Rubber Industries. Agro-based Industries, Small
Scale Industries etc.
FIEO has strong links with counterpart organisations in
several countries as well as international agencies to enable
direct communication and interaction between India and
world businessmen. It is registered with UNCTAD as a
national non-Government organization, and has direct
access to information/data originating from UN bodies and
world agencies like the IMF, ADB, ESCAP, WORLD BANK,
FAO, UNIDO and others.
Today the Federation is proud of the fact that its members
accounts for an estimated exports of
US$ 24.3 billion out of the total India's export of US$ 33.0
billion. It shows for itself an achievement which notes
that approximately 73.6 % of the total exports from India
emanate from FIEO members. This enviable position has
been reached rapidly in a very short span, albeit with a
long legacy behind it. It was in the year 1965 that this
Federation came into being with the support of Ministry
of Commerce. Government of India and private trade and
Industry.
What FIEO Specifically achieves The Federation keeps its
members posted with the latest developments in the field
of Export / Import by organizing Seminars and
Workshops, Inviting delegations, organizing Buyer-Seller
meets in India and abroad. Trade Fairs, providing
advisory and consultative services and bringing about
constant interaction between member exporters and
various Government departments. The end result
of such activity is discussion of issues in depth, evolving
of suitable action plans to promote Indian exports,
formulation and dissemination of government policies
pertaining to all sectors in manufacturing and merchant
exporting and apprising Government on problems and
suggesting remedial measures.
When Federation was constituted in 1965, certain
economic realities had taken shape in India. There was
greater industrialisation, centralised planning and
Government controls. Side by side, there existed a
buoyant and thriving private sector. Thus there was an
urgent need for :

* Wider exchange of views

* Apprising
* Monitoring
* Interacting
Basically, the Federation fulfills the above
needs in these three ways :

* Sending representations on policy matters

* Providing a wide range of services

* Creating and setting up contracts
