Centre & Goa Govt to tie up to form clusters to make value-added products: Prabhu

New Delhi, Jan 28 (KNN) The Central Government and Goa Government would tie up to form clusters to make value-added products, said Union Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu.
He was speaking at the inauguration ceremony of a new office and laboratory complex of the Export Inspection Agency at Margao in south Goa.
He said “It is our endeavour to increase India's exports from the current USD 321 billion to almost double in a few years. One of the principal potential areas for export is fisheries, especially at a time when for the first time, the country has come out with an agricultural policy," Prabhu said.
He said the Air Cargo policy announced on January 15 this year will boost fish exports, adding that the Centre and Goa government would tie up to form clusters to make value-added products.
Further, he added that the Mopa greenfield airport, expected to be operational by 2020, will help give the coastal state new opportunities.
"We are planning to set up export hubs so that Goa will be benefit from new infrastructure," said Prabhu.
