Extending her gratitude to the Professor from Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Dr. Gautam Dutta, she urged the participants to interact with the Resource Persons from the Indian Institute of Packaging and the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade with their problems.
Dr. Gautam Dutta, informed the audience that the state possesses rich agricultural and horticultural produce, mineral resources, handicrafts, and processed food products, all of which have immense export potential. He highlighted that lack of awareness among small-scale entrepreneurs regarding export procedures, documentation, and market linkages is a common hindrance which the workshop looks to address.
