Many local exporters, however, said<br>\nthat they were reluctant to take such benefits due to the arduous<br>\nprocedures to get the low-interest loans and also because they<br>\nwere often required to pay a certain sum of money to get the<br>\nfacilities.<\/p>\n<p>The minister told local administration offices to check out<br>\nthe local exporters' complaints.<\/p>\n<p>\"It will be a disgrace for us, if those unofficial levies<br>\naffected our export program by causing unnecessary burdens on<br>\nexporters,\" he said.
