Tripura MP Kriti Singh Debbarma highlighted challenges faced by the agarwood industry during a Lok Sabha session, calling for streamlined export procedures to boost the sector.
During a recent session in the Lok Sabha, Tripura MP Kriti Singh Debbarma brought the agarwood sector’s difficulties to the floor, emphasizing the need for policy intervention. She cited high export costs, cumbersome customs procedures, and a lack of clear guidelines as major hurdles for local producers.
Debbarma urged the government to introduce measures that would simplify customs clearance, reduce paperwork, and accelerate approval timelines for agarwood exports. She argued that such reforms would make the industry more competitive on the global market.
The MP highlighted that agarwood, a valuable resin used in perfumery and incense, is a significant source of income for many rural communities in Tripura. Streamlined export processes, she said, could boost earnings and encourage sustainable harvesting practices.
If adopted, the proposed changes could enhance the sector’s contribution to the state’s economy, create jobs, and strengthen Tripura’s position as a key player in the international agarwood trade.
