Exporters' conclave in city on Feb 13

February 3, 2012

Mangalore, February 3: A conclave of all exporters of Karnataka will be organized by the Federation of Indian Exports Organisations (FIEO) in Mangalore on February 13, said its Regional Chairman Walter D'Souza.

Addressing a press meet at the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), here on Thursday, he said the Union Ministry for Corporate Affairs will collaborate with it for the meet, which would have a plenary session and a technical session.

Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda and Union Ministers for Corporate Affairs, Surface Transport, Commerce and Industry and the Karnataka Minister for Industry were expected to attend the event.

The FIEO will present “Karnataka Export Vision-2020”, a document on how Karnataka can increase its share in India's total exports from 6 per cent to 10 per cent. The organisation has a membership of over 15,000 exporters from India.

The technical sessions would be addressed by the Director-General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Secretary of Ministry of Surface Transport and Corporate Affairs, along with the Principal Secretary of Industry, Government of Karnataka. The meet will be held in association with Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI), Udupi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UCCI), North Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NKCCI), Karwar, and all other trade bodies of Karnataka, a press release said.


If India were to reach its export target of $ 500 billion in the financial year 2013-14 and if India's share of global exports had to double by 2020, then each State had to set a target so that the national target could be achieved, said Mr. D'Souza.

Bengaluru, Feb 28: BS Yediyurappa’s contribution to the economy is substantial, and he is one CM who has contributed largely to making India the fifth largest economy, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday.

“He will ensure that Karnataka contributes towards making India the third-largest economy in the coming days,” Singh said, who had flown from New Delhi to participate in the CM’s birthday celebrations.

Singh recalled Yediyurappa asking him how to increase welfare measures for farmers, and had suggested that the CM reduce interest rates on loans to help the community. “Yediyurappa took the suggestion seriously and reduced interest of loans to a mere 4 % and gradually reduced it to 1 % before coming down to zero,” Singh said, appreciating Yediyurappa’s love for farmers.
