The US today called for more imports of mango from West Bengal as the state was a leading producer of the fruit.
US Consul General in Kolkata Beth A Payne said that American people were looking for good quality products. Mango could be a product which has a good export potential to the US.
Speaking at an interactive session organised by Bengal National Chamber of Commerce& Industry here, Payne said that since the US economy was reeling under recession, it was the appropriate time for Indian investors to look for business opportunities there.
She said that it was also necessary to promote a healthy investment climate and expand business ties between US and West Bengal.
Payne said that eastern India offered opportunities in infrastructure, port development, mining, food processing, chemical, and service sectors like IT and biotechnology.
Indo-US bilateral trade in 2008 touched US$ 44 billion.
