Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal proposed to offer tax exemption, subject to certain conditions, for ten years to industries engaged in processing fruits and vegetables, producing milk, dairy products and baby food entirely from locally grown agricultural products, and manufacturing of agricultural machineries during the budget proposal he presented in the parliament on Thursday.
