New Delhi, July 22 A majority of the exporters surveyed by Assocham have found the recently announced Rs 1,400-crore relief package inadequate and sought a long-term export strategy to reduce transaction cost and restoration of suitable export infrastructure.

Of the 400 large, medium and small exporters surveyed, 80 per cent said they continue to suffer as a result of the appreciating rupee.
