Mangalore :

For the first time since the official announcement of air cargo facility at Mangalore International Airport, 0.600 ton of pomfret fish (maanji in Tulu) was exported to Kuwait recently.

According to J T Radhakrishnan, Mangalore Airport Director, 12 packets of approximately weighing 45 kg each were shipped through Air India Express flight.

This could be encouraging news for fishermen in the coastal district, and also to farmers who grow various fruits and vegetables.

The quantity and frequency is expected to increase in the coming days, especially in fish export.
