Why not agri produce in SEZ
by A V Jayaraman on Sep 08, 2007 04:28 PM

SEZ is defintely a boom to economy if it implemented wiht a time bound and committed programme. In addtion to IT, export oreinted items metc., I suggest 30 % of the SEZ land area should be allocated for development and production of Agriculture organic produce mainly for Export purpose. This includes cotton, rice, wheat, pulses, fruits and ofcourse the mangoes ; the new delicacy of Westerners. It will not only earn Foreign excgange, but also will give employment to the displaced rural farmers whose land will be acquired for SEZ.
Our Ministers and MPs shall give a serious thought to my suggestion to solve the Nandigram and other SEZ disputes.
Jay
