In his reply, the Senior General said efforts are being made to produce import-substitute products which are required to be new and in good quality, and match the users’ choice. In the market, the quality of the products must be better than others when prices are the same, and the same-quality products can be sold at a cheaper price. It is needed to seek larger market for the products. It is necessary to join hands with other local toothpaste manufacturers. Domestic products should be more marketable and it is required to follow the FDA’s guidelines.
