The Ambassadors/High Commissioners, during the inspection, showed interest in the organic produce of the State and urged the authority concerned to lay emphasis on product packaging while exporting.
The diplomats also inspected the mini rapid pesticide testing laboratory, cold room pre cooling unit of the Directorate as well produce brought from different districts under One District One Product.
They were received by Additional Chief Secretary of the Directorate, P Vaiphei, Imphal East DC Khumanthem Diana, Kangpokpi DC Kengoo Zuringla and Director of Horticulture and Soil Conservation Honey Chara among others.
Speaking to media persons, Manoj Kumar Bharti said that there is a need for the Directorate to interact with the farmers and exporters occasionally.
He also said that the State Government must take the issues being raised by people in the agriculture sector with utmost seriousness as most of them are based on ground reality and personal experience.
"Helping the farmers and solving the problems they face will encourage more to become entrepreneurs," he noted.
Rahul Shrivastava, on the other hand, said that horticulture products which are not of export quality can be marketed through value addition while YK Sailas Thangal said that the State Government must find a way to export the produce instead of waiting for the fund from the Centre alone.
