The upcoming Goa state budget is poised to prioritize initiatives aimed at boosting exports and establishing agricultural boards. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has indicated that the focus will be on increasing the state’s export potential and promoting agricultural development. The move comes in line with the government’s efforts to diversify the state’s economy and enhance its competitiveness. Goa has been traditionally known for its tourism industry, but there is a growing recognition of the need to explore other sectors to drive economic growth. By emphasizing export promotion and supporting agriculture through the establishment of specialized boards, the state aims to create new opportunities for businesses and farmers alike. The budget is expected to include measures to facilitate trade and improve market access for local products. Additionally, the setting up of agricultural boards is seen as a crucial step towards modernizing the sector and enhancing productivity. The announcement has been welcomed by various stakeholders, including industry associations and farmer groups, who see it as a positive step towards sustainable economic development. With the budget set to be unveiled soon, all eyes are on the state government to see how these initiatives will be implemented to drive growth and prosperity in the region.
