In order to promote agriculture exports, Commerce & Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu has said the government is considering providing transport subsidy to States. He said ‘we are considering giving transport subsidy to states. It is under active consideration to promote agriculture exports’. While the World Trade Organization does not allow subsidies for farm exports, developing countries like India can provide subsidies to exporters for transport and marketing purposes.
He further mentioned that the issue was discussed with the representatives of States, including Karnataka, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Tamil Nadu and Punjab, who participated in the meeting of the Council for Trade Development and Promotion.
Besides, on credit issues being faced by exporters, Prabhu stated the Commerce Ministry was also in talks with the Finance Ministry on increasing lending to exporters and the Financial Services Secretary will soon hold a meeting with banks on the issue.
