The Government under its Interim budget 2022 has identified Packaging for value addition and for minimizing post harvest losses as a priority and wanted the Export Development Board (EDB) to reactivate the National Packaging Centre to address the need for promoting the packaging Industry, especially the local packaging products of the SME sector in the country.

The way forward was discussed at a meeting at the Presidential Secretariat, to implement proposal Number 32 of the interim budget 2022 on promotion of local packaging products.
