Ahmedabad airport to get cargo complex soon

Ahmedabad: The exporters of perishable products from Gujarat will not be required to go to Mumbai to export their products after a couple of weeks. In a bid to tap the export market of perishable products, the Gujarat Agro Industries Ltd (GAIL), a Gujarat government undertaking, has decided to launch the state’s first well-equipped perishable air cargo complex at the Ahmedabad airport.
From Gujarat a large quantity of vegetables including capsicum, tomato, ladies finger, exotic flowers, fruits like mangoes and many frozen edibles are exported to foreign countries every year. The Middle East countries especially Dubai and United Kingdom are some of the biggest importers of perishable products.
As of now, the export of perishable products from Gujarat to foreign countries take place via Mumbai airport which is said to have 50 per cent of the market share in the nation.
