Telangana Cooperative Society to Export Rice to US via Visakhapatnam Port
What happened
Mulkanoor Cooperative Society in Telangana is preparing to export Jai Sriram and Telangana Sona rice varieties to the United States. The society secured central government approval for the export and entered into an agreement with Harvest Link, a US-based company. The first consignment is expected to comprise 25 tonnes, utilizing Visakhapatnam Port for shipment.
Why it matters
The export aims to expand the society's annual turnover from its current domestic sales of Rs 25 crore to a target of Rs 100 crore. The rice varieties, sold domestically at around Rs 80 and Rs 70 per kg, could fetch up to Rs 200 per kg in the US market. This expansion is supported by the central government's regulatory approval.
