To increase exports of soyabean and soyameal, non basmati rice, pharmaceuticals and technical textiles to China and Iran, Gupta urged Nath to lead a business delegation to both the nations, which have huge demand for such products, according to an FIEO press release.
Gupta emphasised the need for identification of more products under geographic identification (GI) tag and marketing of such products through exclusive shops in the departure area of international airports, starting with Mumbai and Delhi.
FIEO also requested inland freight subsidy for all products as the cost of carrying cargo from Madhya Pradesh to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Terminal in Mumbai works out to be more than overseas freight in many cases. (DS)
