Tamta was in the city to attend a seminar organized by the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SGCCI) and the Global Fabric Resource and Research Centre (GFRRC) on ‘future opportunities in textile sector’ on Thursday

Addressing a gathering of industry stakeholders, Tamta said, “Surat is an important centre as far as man-made fibre (MMF) sector is concerned, but the opportunities in natural fibre in the form of silk are huge in the northeastern states. The focus is on research and development in sericulture in order to reduce dependence of natural silk imports. I am visiting textile clusters across the country to study the market and to encourage research and development in developing new qualities and products to increase our exports”
