SCR (Soth Central Railway), in collaboration with Container Corporation of India (CONCOR), has sent the first train with banana shipment to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), Mumbai.
The export train carrying 680 tonnes of bananas was loaded by S.K. Exports, a prominent fruit exporter for the last few years. With the support of Indian Railways, CONCOR is ensuring reliable and efficient transportation of bananas, which have high demand in the market. The exporter has a network with about 20,000 potential farmers, helps them cultivate quality yields, trains routes in the latest technology in agriculture, and offers the best price.
SCR and CONCOR are supplying high-quality bananas from India to the traders abroad, benefiting the local farmers in getting good prices for their produce. The SCR officials said that besides bananas, Indian Railways was also shipping mangoes and other fruits from different parts of Andhra Pradesh. The successful exports of bananas highlight the effective collaboration between the local farmers, SCR, exporters and CONCOR, which contributes to India’s economic growth.
