Emirates SkyCargo expects surge in perishable exports from India

Stating India as one of the largest exporters of perishables, Emirates SkyCargo expects a rise in exports of perishables from India in the next five years. Dennis Lister, Vice President, Cargo Commercial Development and UAE Sales at Emirates SkyCargo said in a statement, “The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) signed between India and UAE would give exports of pharmaceuticals and perishables further boost. Emirates SkyCargo would unlock the potential by promoting Indian perishables at Gulf Food, a fresh food conference to be held in UAE.” Lister further added, “We want to invite Indian farmers to Dubai for the Gulf Food Exhibition and we want to introduce them to local and international traders. We have that ability to reach even the smallest SME business anywhere in the world, from the smallest farmer or grower in India and in the UAE to transport their products. We want to grow more out of India, particularly around perishables.”
