Summary:
For the first time, Kempegowda International Airport made a record of sending 5,620 tonnes of fresh coriander leaves between July and September 2019. Fresh coriander leaves have also been supplied to Sri Lanka,” said the spokesperson from the international airport. However, the demand for nati coriander has caught the attention of traders and Horticultural Producers’ Cooperative Marketing and Processing Society (Hopcom) officials. The traders said that since the areas where coriander is grown in abundance (Doddaballapur, Chikkaballapur, Andhra borders) are near the international airport, Kempegowda airport becomes the ideal spot. Bengaluru airport was the first in India to launch automated bag drop off facility on such a large scale..
