Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) Saturday called for better cooperation between the ministries of commerce and agriculture to boost agri-exports.

APEDA is a statutory body under the Ministry of Commerce.

"An integrated approach and better cooperation are needed among the two union ministries for boosting agricultural production and exports," it said in a statement.

The increasing cooperation would also help boost agri-exports to USD 60 billion by 2022 from the current USD 38 billion, it said.
