Madurai
Central Government has included jasmine in the list of products with export potential, identified under the ‘Districts as Exports Hubs.”
Talking to reporters here on Saturday, Virudhunagar MP B. Manickam Tagore said that Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal had sent him a letter in response to the issue raised by him in the Lok Sabha in September 2020.
Mr. Tagore had sought to make Tirumangalam and Tirupparankundram export hubs for jasmine industry.
“As importance of jasmine flowers in Madurai is well perceived in international markets, the Government of Tamil Nadu has planned to promote Jasmine cluster in Madurai district,” the Union Minister said in his letter.
