30 years on, Agar oil export to Middle East to be reality: Tripura CM © Provided by The Times of India
NEW DELHI: Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb, who is on a three-day visit to the national capital to hold talks with Centre over fortifying Act East plans, on Saturday said the Modi government has in-principle agreed to initiate perfume and incense (agar) trade for the state with the Middle East three decades after it was banned, in a big win to boost employment in his state.
The CM said that the count for Thymelaecea, a resinous tree and commonly known as agar, now stands at 50 lakh in the state. The export of Agarwood has been prohibited since 1991, when the export of all wood products (including log, timber, chip, powder, flake, dust etc) of all species was banned through the EXIM Policy in force at that time.
