New Delhi: Minister of Chief Justice of Tripura Biplab Kumar Deb, who is visiting three days to the National Capital to hold talks with the Eastern Celebration Center for Fortifying, on Saturday that the Modi Government has the principles agreed to start perfume and incense (agar) trading the state with Middle East, three decades after it was banned, in a big victory to increase work in his country.
CM said that counts for Thymelaecea, resin trees and commonly known as agar, now standing at 50 lakh in the state.
Agarwood exports have been banned since 1991, when exporting all wood products (including wood, wood, chips, powder, debris, dust etc.) of all species is prohibited through the Exim policy at that time.
Deb talks with PM Narendra Modi came almost months after his government in Tripura launched the agarwood policy of 2021.
When taking friction on the predecessor of the CPI LED, he said trade, if permitted, would result in a business of Rs 2,000 Crore in the next two years.
“Unfortunately, the Communist government has never changed forest policies in Tripura or never approached the center to find trade to agar.
So when I met PM this week, I proposed him to raise limits.
I also tried to expand the limit to trade so that more than 25,000 MT Overall for the country.
This will allow Tripura farmers to send incense varieties and perfume to the Middle East through Chittagong, “Deb said.
Agartala, the capital of the State of Tripura is believed to come from his name from Agarwood.
This tree is distributed in South and Southeast Asia from the foot of the Himalayan to the Papuan New Guinea Rainforest.
Three oil values ​​are extracted from agar namely Boa, Boha and Khara.
At that time the Exim (2009-2014) policy at that time the Agarwood Foreign Trade Import Directorate General had been limited and since being subject to the provisions of the International Trade Convention in the Fauna and Flora Species (CITES) which are endangered.
According to the new Agarwood policy of 2021, so that it is not even more important as rubber and bamboo during the previous government because of the lack of the quality of agarwood from existing plantations, the lack of inoculation as far as necessary for the economic revolution, the absence of a recognized and formal trade mechanism, illegal distillation that leads to quality extraction The bad from oil so that.
In addition, the lack of quality control mechanisms and also due to lack of encouragement of farmers so that for registration with the forest department are also among other reasons for poor trade, the policy said.
Deb said that new agarwood policies have tried to encourage research and development in the field of artificial inoculation for agarwood formation, sustainable harvest and increase in the number and quality of products.
The DEB government also started the mapping of resources and augmentation to expand plantations so that five new approaches.
These include plantations so as agro-forestry plantation fences on private land; Plantations in tea parks and small tea farmers; Artificial inoculation tree agar; Marketing Inkedasi with Amazon, Flipkart and International Exhibition and Distribution of Agarwood puppies at the concession rate (up to 100 puppies per family) to small farmers who usually grow aloes in the garden of homestead, production so that it is expensive and the new area is identified for growing this tree.
“Only when the aquilaria tree bruises by external factors such as physical injury, an insect attack of chemical treatment or bacterial fungal infections, that agarwood begins to form in trees as a defense mechanism.
Resin is produced as an immune response to attacks from fungi or injury by a drill insect called Neurozerra Conferta.
In Tripura, it is noted that insect borers help Agarwood formations more in North Tripura District naturally compared to other regions in the state.
This requires recipes for policy to plant trees throughout the state and on the highway so that insects are responsible for formation Wood so that it can be spread naturally throughout the state “2021 policy policy.
