New Delhi, July 23 - The government will announce more sops for the slowdown-hit exports sector in the export-import policy (Exim) for 2009-10, which will be released next month, Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said here Thursday.

'There will be certain measures. We are aware of the difficulties of the exporters and will try our best to extend the support and sops,' Sharma told reporters on the sidelines of a business meet.

'We will be meeting the sectoral representatives this week. Rest you will see when the policy will come.'

The minister added that his department was in talks with 'the finance ministry to address the problems faced by the exporting community'.

Last week Sharma had said India's new foreign trade policy would focus on diversifying the country's merchandise exports to untapped markets.

'We will look at diversification,' Sharma told reporters here after a meeting with industry representatives.
