‘Plastic Park will boost exports’
The Hindu
Central government intends to enhance exports from last year’s $300 billion to $400 bilion
Finished plastic goods have a good export market and the proposed Plastic Park in Mangaluru is bound to enhance export from India, said S.R. Satheesha, MD, Visvesvaraya Trade Promotion Council (VTPC).
He was speaking at the exporters meet organised during the Vanijya Saptaha by the Union Ministry of Commerce and the District Industries Centre here. Mr. Satheesha said raw material for industries in the park has to come from MRPL and urged the Refinery to hasten supply modalities. Finished plastic goods have good market in China, he noted.
He said Dakshina Kannada district has huge potential for exports of marine produce, plastic products and cashew and VTPC would extend necessary guidance and help.
Nearly 50% of Dakshina Kannada’s shoreline has been eroded, the highest among the three coastal districts of Karnataka, according to a study for the period 1990-2018 by the National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR).
