JAMMU, Nov 11: Divisional Commissioner Jammu, Dr Raghav Langer today chaired a meeting of Deputy Commissioners, JK Trade Promotion Organization and Heads of other concerned departments to review the district export plans under District Export Hub initiative. Pertinently, the District Export Hub initiative will form an important component of the new trade policy envisaging tapping of the potential of each district of the country to help them to emerge as export hubs. The scheme intends to boost export potential of the districts by identifying products and developing export clusters in each district through the District Level Export Committees. This new approach will not only de-centralize the planning process but put the local producers and manufacturers at its centre.
During the meeting, Managing Director JK Trade Promotion Organization gave a detailed presentation on the overall objectives of the scheme.
It was informed that ‘District Export Hub’ is an initiative of the Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry launched in coordination with DGFT and State and UT Governments for formulation of the Robust District Action Plan. While highlighting the features of the district as Export hub, the MD JKTPO apprised the Div Com that the mission of this plan is to synergize the efforts of the center and the state/UT governments to create institutional mechanisms for promotion of trade. She said that Jammu and Kashmir is favorable for Agricultural, Horticultural and Handicrafts & Handloom products, which come with higher nutritional values and uniqueness of the artistic products. She said with the right strategy, a diversified mix of products of the UT can be promoted across the globe and a strong brand can be built for export products of Jammu and Kashmir.
It was further informed that the process flow requires institutional mechanisms, which include identification & recommendation of the products by the DLEPCs, Finalization of products by apex level committee, district expert action plan to be prepared by DGFT, approval of export action plans by concerned DCs at district level etc.
The DCs apprised the Divisional Commissioner that district level export promotion committee meetings have been held in the districts and they have identified various products (district specific) for promotion.
