Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Sunday assured apple traders in Jammu and Kashmir to look into their demand for greater protection from imports, but emphasised the need to balance the interests of both growers and consumers.
Goyal also said he will take up the suggestion of stakeholders to reduce goods and services tax (GST) on handicrafts.
The industry has called for a cut in GST from 12 per cent to 5 per cent.
