1. Where is India's first integrated agricultural export facility being developed?
India’s first integrated agricultural export facility is being developed at Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Mumbai. This initiative, valued at Rs. 284.19 crore, aims to streamline logistics, reduce multiple handling, and extend the shelf life of agricultural products, thereby enhancing India's export capacity. The facility will support prominent export items such as non-basmati rice, maize, spices, onion, and wheat. It will also include cold storage and frozen storage facilities, ultimately empowering farmers and small exporters, creating employment opportunities, and stimulating rural development.
