Commerce Ministry preparing action plans for 20 Agri products to boost exports NEW DELHI: The Government is formulating action plans for as many as 20 agricultural products including banana, mangoes, potato and baby corn with a view to further boost export of these commodities, a senior official said recently. The action for each of these products is likely to be ready in the next 3-4 months, Additional Secretary in the Department of Commerce Rajesh Agarwal said. He said that the action plan will be discussed with all the stakeholders including states for further action. India's share is about 2.5 per cent in the global exports and the aim is to increase it to about 4-5 per cent in the coming years. Cont’d Pg. 5
India working on optimising fares for Coastal Shipping, revamps coal transport pricing NEW DELHI: An Inter-Ministerial group is re-examining the mechanism to “improving” fares for transport of coal under the rail-sea-rail route, also called Coastal Shipping. The idea is to make the fares “feasible” enough so that it can be used an alternative mode of evacuation, reduce carbon footprint and create infrastructure at ports that can be later leveraged for exports.
