The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|May 05, 2025
The government is committed to reducing logistical barriers and enhancing market access for Indian agri and processed food products.
This was stated by Mr Sunil Barthwal, Secretary, Department of Commerce, in his address at a high-level Chintan Shivir organised by the Agricultural & Processed Food Products Authority (APEDA) in New Delhi.
He pointed out that "Academia and Research institutions must be a part of multisectoral consultations so that Research and Development can be a major focus for innovation and sustainability in agri exports." He emphasised that agricultural production and productivity both are the need of the hour. He reaffirmed the Ministry's commitment to further deliberate on the ideas and strategies discussed during the sessions.
