Farmers meet buyers from 45 markets

Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu said an agricultural export policy will be introduced soon and will be formulated in the coming days.

Farmers impacted by imports should get a chance to export their commodities.

He also pointed out that buyers from 45 countries were recently invited to Delhi to provide a platform for farmers to meet buyers from various international markets.

“We are in the process of identifying each agricultural commodity as a separate problem. We are working out a package for each of their problems,” he said.

The minister was speaking at the inauguration of a new facility of Central Arecanut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing Cooperative (Campco) Ltd in Puttur, some 60 km off Mangaluru, on 21 Jan 2018. fii-news.com
