Farmers and exporters benefit
This move is especially good news for farmers and exporters of onions, bananas, rice, and tea.

SCI will provide ships as needed while Concor ensures enough containers are available.
Gulf countries might even help with some freight costs, making Indian goods more competitive in West Asian markets.
