Jawaharlal Nehru Port to get EXIM facility for agri products

Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) said that it has issued a Letter of Award (LoA) to Trident Agrocom Exports and Man Infraconstruction consortium for the development of an export-import cum domestic agriculture commodity-based processing and storage facility at its port. Once operational, the export-import-cum-domestic agricultural commodity-based processing and storage facility coming up on a 27-acre land parcel within the port complex, is expected to handle about 1.2 million tonnes of cargo annually. The facility will significantly contribute to the country’s agro trade by improving the processing, storage capabilities, and transportation infrastructure for agricultural commodities. This project will enhance India’s agricultural logistics capabilities and support the growth of both domestic and international agro trade. It also shows JNPA’s focus on accelerating key projects to ensure timely completion, reflecting the port’s commitment to driving economic growth in the agriculture sector.

This is India’s first one-of-its-kind facility provided by JN Port which is designed to provide comprehensive services including processing, sorting, packing, and laboratory facilities, emphasizing its commitment to ensuring compliance with food safety and trade regulations. It shall cater to the agricultural commodities not only of Maharashtra but also of other states such as Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
