Indian oranges heading to Sri Lanka : Report
The Sri Lankan market has opened to Indian oranges, according to India's Finanancial Express and for the first time in many years, around 52 tonnes of oranges from Maharashtra have been exported to Sri Lanka, top officials of the Maharashtra government were quoted as saying.
The consignment has been exported through the Export Facilitation Centre established by the MSAMB with MahaOrange, Chandrakant Patil, Maharashtra cooperation minister, was quoted as saying.
The first consignment of 26 tonne has already left for Sri Lanka and the second consignment of similar tonnage is expected to leave Indian shores soon, he said.
According to senior officials, though Indian exporters wish to export oranges to newer markets, the fruit size of 180-200 grams, which is a mandatory condition, is a little difficult for Indian farmers to meet. However, the domestic market has been pretty receptive and farmers have been able to make profits, the minister said.
