Commerce Ministry Seeks Stakeholder Suggestions For Next Foreign Trade Policy

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), in a trade notice, said a Google form has been created to collate, analyse and process the suggestions/ inputs.

The Commerce Ministry on Thursday sought suggestions from stakeholders, including industry and trade associations, for the formulation of next foreign trade policy (FTP). The FTP provides guidelines for enhancing exports to push economic growth and create jobs.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), in a trade notice, said a Google form has been created to collate, analyse and process the suggestions/ inputs.

Stakeholders are requested to send their comments only through this form rather than e-mail or paper based submissions within 15 days from November 12, it added.

“The foreign trade policy (2015-20) was extended for a year till March 31, 2021. In order to prepare a new five year FTP, suggestions/inputs are invited from various stakeholders,” the directorate said in a trade notice to export promotion councils, commodity boards, trade/industry bodies/associations/organisations, members of trade and industry
and all regional authorities of DGFT.
