Trichy: Vegetables were not exported from Trichy airport on Friday after several Gulf countries put brakes on import of perishables from southern Tamil Nadu. Exporters have cut down on procuring vegetables from wholesalers as the uncertainly continues. Authorities at Dubai airport have asked exporters to produce a health certificate for clearing the consignments containing vegetables.
Only coconuts and savouries were sent on a Sri Lankan Airlines flight that left to Dubai via Colombo from Trichy on Friday.
Around 1.5tonnes of consignments including vegetables are exported per day from Trichy airport. Exporters from Chennai airport are not facing a problem because vegetables form only a small percentage of the total exports. "Most of the vegetables go to south east Asia and not to the Gulf," said an airport official in Chennai.
