President of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Coimbatore, D. Nandakumar, said the city has several agro industries and the thrust on agricultural sector will benefits these units. By allowing foreign direct investment in the marketing of food products made in the country will lead to better price realisation for regional food product producers.

Chairman of Federation of Indian Export Organisations, Southern Region, A. Sakthivel, has said that increase in investment for better road, rail and port connectivity will bring down transaction cost for the exporters.
