Need fo rise in agriculture, allied sectors' output: Minister

Mizoram Commerce and Industries Minister H Rohluna today said there is a need to increase production in agriculture and allied sectors, especially in view of trade expansion with south east Asian countries.
Rohluna said entrepreneurship would be given thrust through the state government's New Economic Development Policy (NEDP), to enable young entrepreneurs prepare for trade linkage with such countries.
On the crucial Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project (KMMTTP) that connects with Myanmar, the minister said it was making speedy progress on the Indian side.
"The KMMTTP is a road project...which would open the waterway to the Sittwe port in Myanmar for the land-locked north eastern states," he said.

Rohluna was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a summit organised jointly by the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Export-Import Bank of India.
