During an administrative review meeting at Maldah, West Bengal Chief Minister Ms Mamata Banerjee said that the State Government has written to the Centre to permit the mango-farmers in the district to export their products to foreign countries.
“The State Government cannot sanction export of mangoes to a foreign country without the consent of the Centre. We’ve written to the Centre,” the Chief Minister said.
The Chief Minister also insisted that the Merchant Chamber of Commerce may have a meeting with the mango exporters. She said that if it is necessary, the State Government may also provide subsidy.
