Agri-tech provides huge potential for technical textile industry: Irani

摘要

THE agri-tech sector provides the technical textiles industry a huge opportunity to partner with the government as well as the agrarian community and leverage their capabilities opined Union Textiles Minister Smriti Irani, while addressing an inaugural session at the virtual conference on "Technical Textile - The Future of Indian Textile Industry" organised by IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry. "I feel that agri tech is one large area where the industry can partner not only with the government, but also citizens in the agrarian part of our economy. My hope is that given the agricultural expanse of our economy, the chamber (IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry) will assist in discussion on issues concerning agri-tech," the minister said.
