Better infra for value-added products urged

Speakers at a seminar sought better infrastructure facilities to enhance exports of value-added products. Marine products and granite were being exported from the Visakhapatnam region and if exporters added value to these products, exports earnings would increase significantly, they added.

The seminar was organised by the Director General of Foreign Trade in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday.

S Kishore, development commissioner, AP SEZ and Vizag, said not much private investment was coming in the sector and hence the government should come forward and help in improving infrastructure.
