Speakers underscored the need for high quality packaging, subsidy to real farmers, cash incentive for export promotional activities, knowledge-based education and training for farmers, policy support, development of promotional activities in stead of subsidisation to bring balance in the country's economy.
Addressing a workshop Faruq Ahmed Siddique, secretary, Ministry of Commerce said, "We should emphasise on bio-technology for agricultural development. Direct subsidy to real farmers is basically necessary. Judging the pace of enhancement of export we should provide cash incentives."
