Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for laying down a road map for Indian exports and identifying logistics constraints and cost as the key challenges, the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) recently said it will engage with the Indian diaspora to facilitate exports. AEPC chairman A Sakthivel said exports can help raise income of farmers and artisans.

Sakthivel said this in a press release after participating in a virtual meeting by the prime Minister with heads of Indian missions and stakeholders of trade and commerce sectors.

“Policy intervention and infrastructure creation are needed to resolve these issues,” he said, hoping that the compliance burden comes down helping increase exports and diversify the export base.

“Exports can go a long way in helping lift not only the economy but also a large section of the population that has been finding it difficult since the outbreak of the pandemic. Exports can help achieve inclusive growth by becoming a bridge between farmers and artisans in India and the Indian diaspora abroad,” Sakthivel said.
